No Stranger (Another Day In Life)
Gamma Ray · Somewhere Out In Space [1997]
But don't ask me why I'm so down and lonely
No one will understand why
There's a voice in my head
And I know it's the only
I see the children play, with fire in their eyes
And when the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
Days full of joy
Are drivin' down the pain
Into the sun, a mother's son
Is just about to fly
I see the morning come, with fire in my eyes
And when the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
I see the morning come, with fire in the sky
And now the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
No, no I'm no stranger to myself
