Alone as I sit and watch the trees
  Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
  And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
  Or will you laugh at me
  Or will I run
  Little boy says to me,
  "Where you goin' now son"
  I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
  I only know where I'm from"
  And it makes me wonder
  If the stars shine when my eyes close
  Or does my brothers heart cry
  I don't know
  I'm a stranger in my home
  Now that everybody's gone
  Someone please talk to me
  Cause I feel you cry
  And you're sitting with him
  And I know I'll never see you again
  Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
  You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
  I'm tired of living my own little lie
  And it makes me wonder
  When I see you in my dreams
  Does it mean anything
  Are you trying to talk to me
  I'm a stranger in my home
  Tell me are you feeling alone
  Someone tell me what to do
  'Cause I'm feeling strong
  And I wonder how you feel
  Do you realize my pain is for real
  I see you in my dreams
  And I wonder if you're looking down at me
  And smiling right now
  I wanna know if it's true
  When he looks at me
  Won't you tell me
  Does he realize he came down here
  And he took you too soon
  And now my days are short an my nights are long
  I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
  It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
  Will I see your face again
  Tell me, do you care
  I'm a stranger in my home
  Living life on my own
  Right now I just can't see
  'Cause i'm feeling weak
  And my sould begins to bleed
  And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
