people stay
and people go
in distant lands you and I may be

come what may
I hope you know
that you will never be a foreigner to me
you'll never be a foreigner to me


the time was served
and lessons learned
i thought i'd earned
a new reprieve

what i wanted
became so haunted
take it granted
for life unseen


every action
has reaction
and life in traction
cannot stay

despite my efforts
still there comes hurt
when one's life-worth
takes them away



time seems to always have its way I've found
life needs to always change the pace somehow

I have to lose what I have found every time
but I cannot hold you down, no, I won't try



people stay
and people go
in distant lands you and I may be

come what may
I hope you know
that you will never be a foreigner to me


if in time
you do return
I won't forget what you mean to me

a friend of mine
you can be sure
you know you'll never be a foreigner to me
you'll never be a foreigner to me



the life within
starts to breath in
it heals again
gets past the scars

from the start
with breaking hearts
it is quite hard
always so far



time seems to always have its way I've found
life needs to always change the pace somehow

I have to lose what I have found every time
but I cannot hold you down, no, I won't try



people stay
and people go
in distant lands you and I may be

come what may
I hope you know
that you will never be a foreigner to me


if in time
you do return
I won't forget what you mean to me

a friend of mine
you can be sure
you know you'll never be a foreigner to me



it's not so different
all those times as a child

waiting for the very end
though I know it takes a while

I want to be whole
so I just lose control


as we all let go
we learn about what lasts

sometimes we take it slow
and sometimes we take it fast

I want to be whole
so I just lose control
