I wondered again to my home in the mountains
where in youths early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends
but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me
everybody I met seemed to be a Rank Stranger
no mother or dad, not a friend could i see
they knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
they've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
to a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea
some beautiful day I'll meet them in heaven
where no one will be a stranger to me
everybody I met seemed to be a Rank Stranger
no mother or dad, not a friend could i see
they knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
rank strangers to me
