Sanjiv Sanghvi - Stranger in My Country Lyrics

There's a mood all across this nation
Based on a hate, oh a hatred i don't understand
They want us all to get back on the bus
They want us all to go on home
All this where the fabric of freedom was sewn
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
People ask me where I'm from
I don't know what to say
It's so hard to be an American
As they show you to do the door
But I can't go to a homeland where they don't know me anymore
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
With all this talk of diversity
I must assimilate anyway
When I came here as a young boy
My parents spoke of this place with such pride
So many years have passed now and I find
You know that green lady with the torch well maybe she lied
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
People ask me where I'm from
I don't know what to say
It's so hard to be an American
As they show you to do the door
But I can't go to a homeland where they don't know me anymore
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
With all this talk of diversity
I must assimilate anyway
You know I feel a little left out
I know it sounds like some more self-pity to you
Hey brother i ain't looking for a handout
Just treat me like a man, treat me like I treat you
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
People ask me where I'm from
I don't know what to say
It's so hard to be an American
As they show you to do the door
But I can't go to a homeland where they don't know me anymore
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
With all this talk of diversity
I must assimilate anyway
It's so hard to be an American
As they show you to do the door
But I can't go to a homeland where they don't know me anymore
I'm a stranger in my country
I'm a foreigner where i stay
People ask me where I'm from
I don't know what to say
