Everybody I met . . .
Seemed to be a rank stranger . . . .
No mother nor dad . . . .
Not a friend could I see . . . .
They knew not my name . . . .
And I knew not their faces . . . .
I found they were all . . . .
Rank strangers to me . . . .

"They've all moved away," . . . said the voice of a stranger
"To a beautiful land . . . . by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day . . . ..I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be . . . . a stranger to me
