Lyrics
V1
WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DISTANTSTRANGERS
SOME PRESENT A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
WITH EMPTYEYES THAT NEVER CRIED
DETACHED, ALL EMPATHY IS DENIED
BRIDGE
WATCHFULLY THEY WAIT
DISTANT STRANGERSBY OUR SIDES
V2
OTHER STRANGERS DON'T ASK FORMUCH
ALWAYS PROVIDING A GENTLE TOUCH
THEY MAKE THINGS BETTER AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT
OFFERING A MILLION POINTS OF LIGHT
BRIDGE
GENTLY GUIDING THEY REMIND US
ONLY YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE
PERFECT STRANGERS, PERFECT STRANGERS
Chorus
YOU MIGHT NOT ALWAYS SEE THEM BESIDE YOU
BUT KEEP A BROAD-MINDED POINT OF VIEW
ONLY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CONNECT
TO PERFECT STRANGERS WHO LOVINGLY PROTECT
THEY HELP US FIND OUR WAY
AND HOLD UP OUR SOULS, EVERY DAY
THEY MAY HELP YOU FIND THE STRENGTH TO PRAY
Bridge
WHEN ALL EMPATHY IS STRIPPED AWAY
PERFECT STRANGERSARE BY OUR SIDES
V3
PERFECT STRANGERS ARE SENT TO ENLIGHTEN
AND GUARD AGAINST FEELING FRIGHTENED
AVOID ALL THOSE WHO CAUSE YOU PAIN
SIMPLY LET THEM REMAIN
BRIDGE
A DISTANT STRANGER, AND
SEEK THE COMFORT OF A PERFECT STRANGER
Chorus
YOU MIGHT NOT ALWAYS SEE THEM BESIDE YOU
BUT KEEP A BROAD-MINDED POINT OF VIEW
ONLY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CONNECT
TO STRANGERS WHO LOVINGLY PROTECT
THEY HELP US FIND OUR WAY
AND HOLD UP OUR SOULS, EVERY DAY
THEY MAY HELP YOU FIND THE STRENGTH TO PRAY
Outro
WHEN ALL EMPATHY IS STRIPPED AWAY
PERFECT STRANGERSARE BY OUR SIDES
