I grew up near Tulsa, OK and my brother lived just a few blocks away from Leon. Always loved the man and saw him every chance I could, especially in the last few years of his life. This song is another example of the musical and lyric writing genius he was. Rest In Peace Leon, and when I get to Heaven I know I'll find you sitting at that piano and singing a song of glory. ❤🎹❤🎹❤
yokko, thanks for the song, it is one of my all time favorites, when this song came out, i could relate with it, i was going through a time when i had long hair, it was down to my waist, long blond hair, and in the good ole USA, people were calling me a girl, i felt that Leon wrote this song for me, Love, Gary

How many days has it been Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land
My God, I love this song and so much of Leon Russell’s music… was a sad day when Leon passed. RIP Leon… ❤️🩹

Prophetic. Another great song by a great artist.
I used to listen back in the 70s.Still enjoy this song.
the first couple of lines bring me to tears of sorrow and joy its a beautiful feeling
A guy dedicated this to me what does it mean
@@TerriTowne congrats because i think he likes you Terri !! : ) this song is both happy and sad all the same and so is life if you know what i mean
One of my favorites by Leon
With what occurred on January 6, it's hard not to feel like a "Stranger In A Strange Land." Leon's song is prophetic
Indeed. An unarmed trespasser was murdered by a coward cop.

And still very relevant today! Also one of my all time favorite songs.
Truth...
Master piece.

This came up in my Spotify feed. I had never heard of Leon Russell, but I liked the song. Vocally sounds like Axl Rose.
Leon was absolutely the best. Be sure to catch his other music including A Song For You.
Thank You 🙏
Leon was a great rapper......2:35
Still fantastic...from the other side

How many days has it been
Since I was born
How many days until I die
Do I know any ways
That I can make you laugh
Or do I only know how to make you cry
When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
How many miles will it take
To see the sun
And how many years until it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by side when the morning comes
And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burrow in the palace of the king
He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Well, I don't exactly know
What's going on in the world today
Don't know what there is to say
About the way the people are treating
Each other, not like brothers
Leaders take us far away from ecology
With mythology and astrology
Has got some words to say
About the way we live today
Why can't we learn to love each other
It's time to turn a new face
To the whole world wide human race
Stop the money chase
Lay back, relax
Get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion
Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in
And that's a thing
Do you recognize the bells of truth
When you hear them ring
Won't you stop and listen
To the children sing
Won't you come on and sing it children
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
