Looking back I can still remember
The day a stranger came to town
He didn't say much of anything
So why did everybody
Try and put him down?
I must admit that he looked
A little different
Maybe we just didn't understand
I knew that he'd never
Fit into the system
But from his eyes I could
See he had a plan
There was a moment of real hesitation
They didn't like a stranger
Playing the game
But if he was faced with
That kind of situation
Wasn't that the time to make change?
[Chorus]
As time goes by
There's one thing I have come to realize<
