Lyrics of Rank strangers to me

I wandered again to my home in the mountain
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 seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could i see
They knew not my name and i knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me

"they'd've all moved away", said the voice of a stranger
To that beautiful (incomprehensible) that bright, crystal sea
Some beautiful day, i'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody i met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could i see
They knew not my name and i knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
