[00:00.00]Stranger In This Land (Album Version) - Joy Denalane
[00:13.55]I was the daughter
[00:19.29]Of a little known king
[00:22.70]When they came
[00:24.17]And put me in a castle
[00:28.54]My eyes had never seen
[00:33.02]They spoke in tongues
[00:34.23]I've never heard
[00:36.48]They took me to the sea
[00:39.09]At the edge of the earth
[00:44.40]I journied tempest waters
[00:47.49]Reached these distant shores
[00:49.49]My clothes are tattered
[00:52.39]And my soul is worn
[00:54.74]I bore a daughter
[00:56.46]In captivity
[00:59.16]They came late one night
[01:01.22]To take her away from me
[01:05.79]I cried and I cried
[01:08.47]Oh, Lord have mercy on me
[01:11.21]Can't they see
[01:13.01]That little girl
[01:13.75]Is royalty
[01:14.70]I held my ground
[01:18.13]And took my stand
[01:20.47]Can't help
[01:22.08]Feeling sometimes
[01:25.27]That I'm a stranger
[01:29.34]In this land
[01:30.66]In this land of mine
[01:38.43]My mother used
[01:39.80]To cook and clean
[01:42.99]For the rich folks
[01:44.46]On the hill
[01:48.00]Made sure
[01:48.73]I got an education
[01:53.42]And could hardly
[01:54.27]Pay the bills
[01:57.07]I studied
[01:58.67]Schools of thought
[02:02.83]And philosophies of man
[02:05.12]Started questioning
[02:06.27]The contradictions
[02:07.06]In this land
[02:09.39]I left the classroom
[02:11.42]Joined the rallies
[02:12.73]In the street
[02:14.90]Marching hand in hand
[02:16.95]In the Mississippi heat
[02:19.65]I spent so many years
[02:21.85]Of my life on the move
[02:25.41]That confrontation
[02:25.90]Was the only thing i knew
[02:30.74]Talking unity and how
[02:32.53]We gone push on through
[02:34.61]Can't even say no more
[02:38.51]If anything's improved
[03:25.93]I'm a family man
[03:27.99]With a wife
[03:29.93]And two kids to feed
[03:34.82]I dedicated my life
[03:40.40]To seeing we succeed
[03:44.61]The way I sought to make it
[03:47.34]I learned to follow the rules
[03:50.67]So we can make sure
[03:52.13]Our children visit
[03:53.72]The finest schools
[03:55.66]Grandmas on the weekends
[03:58.20]Going on about the good old days
[04:01.59]When decent black folks
[04:04.18]Be trying to make a change
[04:05.99]My parents used to tell me
[04:08.52]To live my life steadfast
[04:11.12]But some may ask me
[04:13.70]What it is that I have
