Don't Let Me Come Home A Stranger - Fernando Ortega

As I walked out one evening

To breathe the air and soothe my mind

I thought of friends and the home I had

And all those things I left behind

A silent star shone on me

My eyes saw a far horizon

As if to pierce this veil of time

And escape this earthly prison

Will there come a time when the memories fade

And pass on with the long, long years

When the ties no longer bind?

Lord save me from this darkest fear

Don’t let me come home a stranger

I couldn’t stand to be a stranger
