Strangers Like Me Lyrics

Whatever you do, I'll do it too
Show me everything and tell me how
It all means something
And yet nothing to me

I can see there's so much to learn
It's all so close and yet so far
I see myself as people see me
Oh, I just know there's something
bigger out there

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these
strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familliar about these stransgers like me

Every gesture, every move that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have
This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, aboe the clouds
I see before me a new horizon

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Come with me now to see my world
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams
Can you feel the things I feel
Right now, with you
Take my hand
There's a world I need to know

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

... I wanna know

I'm going to assume this song is about a man who wants to explore the world more than he has and kind of feels he doesn't know enough people or wasted his life anywa...works really well in the Tarzan soundtrack.

i love this song, i love tarzan. its about tarzan when he has just found out who he really is, that he IS different from who he has grown up with, and his first love, which he never knew even existed. you can relate to it from not the film though. i can relate to it in my life. ive grown up in a really catholic family, and ive recently made friends with a load of anti-christ 'goths' (as society would label them, im not a fan of labels though)... and i want to know more about them, i want to get to know them, ive fallen in love with one of them, and i just want to know more about their world as opposed to the world where there is a god in control of everything.

this song is so beautiful and well put together. Phil Collins is just one of the greatest.

agreed- it's definitely a beautiful song and i love the line "Somethings familiar about these strangers like me" because it doesn't just have to relate to the movie Tarzan but can also refer to the notion that as much as we convince ourselves when we are upset that we are alone in this world, it's not always the case.
