Stranger in a new land

I left home for college, then I went to school in Kansas. I studied abroad in Costa Rica. I moved to small towns in rural Kansas and Nebraska. When I had a house I took in refugees from many countries. Years ago... but even now I when I travel, I prefer being among strangers. In general I trust strangers more than former coworkers or 'friends'.

Hard to heal trust once it's broken.

When I moved to Montana I began anew. That went well for years; but, these days I'm asking myself whether I should move and do I have the strength to begin again.



Lyrics:

New ground
Far as I can see
New ground
Underneath my feet
Stranger
In a stranger’s land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength
To begin again

Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered
Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills
Faces from a past I’m haunted by their mem’ries
Lives and loves I’ve lost I feel them in me still

New ground
Far as I can see
New ground
Underneath my feet
Stranger
In a stranger’s land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength
To begin again

Or join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Dimash Kudaibergen performing "Stranger”. This is nice because she actually explains what's going on; But, it helps if you already know Dimash, appreciate world singers, and have an interest in music.

I like that idea. A lot.
