Silent Stranger

Silent Stranger
Music and Lyrics © 2015 - Richard Simpson

The battle raged on, until the dawn
When I heard a voice calling to me
Looking around, and there on the ground
I couldn’t know what I would see

He was so dark with history
One look told me that his pain's a mystery


Silent Stranger, who knows what’s on your mind
Silent Stranger, you left your past behind
Silent Stranger, but there’s a world out there to find
You only want to be free
And what’s out waiting there to see


The days have passed by, when there came a faint cry
From up on a mountain peak
He was fighting his foe, how long I don’t know
I tried to call, tried to speak

He stood up in the light
Then he turned and was gone into the night


Silent Stranger, who knows what’s on your mind
Silent Stranger, you left your past behind
Silent Stranger, but there’s a world out there to find
You only want to be free
And what’s out waiting there to see


He’s a man that they all dread
Best stay clear most people said
No one would care if he were dead
But they don’t know his story
He doesn’t need the glory


Silent Stranger, who knows what’s on your mind
Silent Stranger, you left your past behind
Silent Stranger, but there’s a world out there to find
You only want to be free
And what’s out waiting there to see

Silent Stranger, Silent Stranger, Silent Stranger, Silent Stranger
