Stranger

(Verse 1)
I count the stars instead of counting days
The wind decides my road, the sun decides my ways
Every horizon looks like one I've seen
Every welcome sign just means I'll soon be leaving

No lock, no key, no number on a door
The sky's my ceiling and the earth my floor
I've seen the same moon rise on different seas
At home in none of it — at home in all of these

*(Hook)*
*Je cherche pas un endroit*
*Je cherche juste la paix*
Not looking for a place
Just looking for some peace

*Partout où je vais*
*Je suis déjà parti*
Everywhere I land
I'm already leaving

*(Verse 2)*
They ask me where I'm from — I say the road
They ask me where I'm going — I don't know
They smile and nod like that's a romantic thing
They don't know what it costs to travel light and sing

*(Hook)*

*(Bridge)*
The baobab puts roots down deep
The nomad puts his faith in feet
Neither one is wrong
Both just playing different songs

*(Outro)*
*Le chemin est chez moi*
The road is where I'm from
