A Stranger Is My Friend

The world is out there
If we even knew...
A stranger if we dare
If we only know what is real...

We see each other everyday
We never knew to greet
What are words for strangers to say?
When an everyone i am... you meet?

We grew tired of everyone, you and I
Perhaps of ourselves... myself
And to the world we begin to lie
A deeper secret, an honor be held

If not for work or purposes
Forever to remain are strangers we be
Aren't we the ones to control causes?
Perhaps of ourselves we do not see

The world is a nowhere
Because of a known we knew
A stranger do we dare?
If only we knew what is real...
