Face Of A Stranger - Stephen Schwartz[00:00:00]

I sailed away from an island[00:00:15]

To an island across the earth[00:00:19]

And I worked at adopting their style and their customs[00:00:22]

For all I was worth[00:00:26]

And I rose to my present position[00:00:29]

And I gained some celebrity[00:00:33]

Now I bask in their praise and conditional love[00:00:37]

But who do they see[00:00:41]

The face of stranger[00:00:44]

Who can't even say who he is anymore[00:00:47]

The face of a stranger[00:00:51]

A mask made for covering passions and pain[00:00:54]

But lately I'm wondering what did I gain[00:00:58]

When I see in my mirror the face of a stranger[00:01:01]

Come home and visit your dad boy[00:01:24]

Calls my mum from across the sea[00:01:27]

He's not young anymore and he's sad boy[00:01:31]

Though he won't admit it to me[00:01:34]

So I fly myself back to their island[00:01:38]

To the wheat and the tractor wheels[00:01:42]

And I show them my sonny-boy smile and I know[00:01:46]

They can tell it conceals[00:01:50]

The face of a stranger[00:01:53]

No longer at home in that house on the hill[00:01:55]

The face of a stranger[00:02:00]

The boy that they raised there is gone without trace[00:02:02]

And even the family he's built in their place[00:02:07]

Regard him with love[00:02:10]

But they're loving the face of a stranger[00:02:12]

I would be off on my own[00:02:18]

Exploring the earth's empty ends[00:02:21]

Then why am I lonely[00:02:25]

Surrounded by family and friends[00:02:30]

They tell you No man is an island[00:02:37]

But to me that's not how it seems[00:02:40]

I think every man is an island[00:02:44]

Of secrets and longings and dreams[00:02:47]

An invisible ocean surrounds us[00:02:52]

Those who love us reach just the shoals[00:02:55]

Is it any surprise it astounds us[00:02:59]

How well we keep playing our roles[00:03:02]

With the face of a stranger[00:03:06]

Who peers in bright windows from out in the dark[00:03:08]

The face of a stranger[00:03:13]

And even the woman I most truly love[00:03:16]

She tells me I wear an emotional glove[00:03:20]

But I laugh it off with the smiling face of a stranger[00:03:23]

Darling have you seen the children[00:03:48]

Yes they're out playing Pirates-at-Sea[00:03:52]

Ah well let me just pay this last bill then[00:03:56]

And we can sit down and have tea[00:04:00]
