Bitter Sweet
The Silver Lining

The Comfort Of Strangers

The comfort of Strangers
Is an unusual deed
How someone you don't know
Can know just what you need

A stranger is just a friend
You still have to meet
You can't make a beginning
If your fears you can't defeat

You'll find a strange reaction
If you walk up and say "Hi"
At first they'll have suspicions
But their reluctance will pass by

Most people are skeptics
At the core of their soul
They've been hurt too many times
To believe that any truth is whole

Strangers will stay strangers
If you don't enter their lives
To face the vast unknown
Is the force on which we thrive

Be sure you pay heed to a stranger
When they offer up advice
This one unfamiliar person
May know the secrets of paradise
