Perfect Strangers Lyrics

One of my favorites. I always envision the spirit of a Native American Chief speaking across the ages to us, the people who's ancestors invaded their lands two centuries ago, telling us that even though today we think we understand and feel the great peril and anguish they endured, we never truly will. We will never understand their way of life; their spiritualism, their love of the land, and the sky, and the animals. We can never be like them, and them like us. We will always be perfect strangers.
