Roger Roger Poet Lyric

The Stranger

I wandered lonely as a stranger 
in many ways, in many places,
trying to sway the pierce of danger 
in lonely rooms and empty spaces,
trying to pass the sand of dune 
to freely sing a fabled tune. 

I've been through storms and rugged mountains.
I've been through deserts and troubled seas.
I've tried to tame the raging fountains 
to have my share of elusive peace.
I rode the wind to the skyline seam 
to reach the anchor of my dream. 

I tamed the pounce of flying dagger.
I dodged the spear that hunts my heart.
I fainted not, nor did I stagger.
I've torn the tides apart.
I did it all to seek my fate
with all my strength and all my faith.
