Rank Strangers

I wandered again to my home in the mountains
 Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
 I looked for my friends, but I never could find them
 I found they were all rank strangers to me
 Everybody I met (everybody I met)
 Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
 No mother or dad (no mother or dad)
 Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
 They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
 And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
 I found they were all (I found they were all)
 Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me)
 They've all moved away, said the voice of a stranger
 To a beautiful home by a bright crystal sea
 Some beautiful day I'll meet them all up in Heaven
 Where no one will be a stranger to me
 Everybody I met (everybody I met)
 Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
 No mother or dad (no mother or dad)
 Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
 They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
 And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
 I found they were all (I found they were all)
 Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me)
