A guest

[Verse 1] I cra-aa-aa-aashed from the stars, so far from ho-o-o-me Now I wander 'mong these beings, in their structured dome They talk in strange lines, words I can’t see-e-e-e What’s this “money,” what’s this “key,” what’s a “cup of tea”? They eat with tools, they sleep in beds, so odd to me-e-e-e They bathe in water, clothed in threads, such mystery! They gather round, they laugh and grin, what does it me-e-ean? These hu-ma-a-a-ns, with hearts within, emotions seen [Chorus 1] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) So hard to comprehend (Will it ever end?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What drives them in pain!) This Earthly life’s so strange, so much I can’t arrange [Verse 2] Their cities rise, in lines so neat, yet cha-os bre-e-e-ews They hurry fast, on crowded streets, with worn-out shoes What’s the rush, where do they go, day in, day out? To jobs, they say, to earn their way, they scream, they shout! They hoard their goods, they build their walls, but still they cry-y-y They pray to gods, they fear their falls, yet never fly! They war for peace, they fight for love, such contradiction Why can’t they see, from up above, their strange affliction? [Chorus 2] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) Their logic spins around (Where’s the common ground?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What fuels their pain!) They strive yet all in vain, these humans are so plain [Verse 3] What’s this “family,” this “home sweet home,” they hold so dear? Is it a cage, or safe to roam, this bond unclear They bind themselves, in rings and vows, forever ties They share their joy, they share their pain, with hopeful eyes They give and take, they help, they trust, such acts of care Yet turn away, with cold disgust, when fear is there They speak of love, they speak of hate, so intertwined This heart they show, so warm and great, a world confined [Chorus 3] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) Their hearts, they beat so strong (But where do they belong?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (It drives me insane!) Their feelings rise and wane, they’re wild yet so mundane [Verse 4] And what’s this “altruism,” this “selfless act,” they often cite? To give with nothing back, no deal in sight? To care for others more than self, to share their gold? What do they gain, in this exchange, when all is told? They fight for rights, they stand as one, they march with pride But turn and run, when shadows come, when truth’s denied I watch and learn, I try to see, what lies beneath But still their ways, so lost on me, like floating wreath [Chorus 4] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) Their motives twist and turn (Will they ever learn?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What do they obtain!) From giving all away, in hopes of brighter day [Bridge] Oh, these humans, what a race! (So much I can’t replace!) I try to think, I try to feel, to understand their chase But in the end, it’s all so odd, this world they’ve made (So strange, so strange!) A life [Chorus 4] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) Their motives twist and turn (Will they ever learn?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What do they obtain!) From giving all away, in hopes of brighter day [Bridge] Oh, these humans, what a race! (So much I can’t replace!) I try to think, I try to feel, to understand their chase But in the end, it’s all so odd, this world they’ve made (So strange, so strange!) A life of dreams, of fears, of schemes, in this parade [Verse 5] Now I wander through this place, still trying to know Their ups and downs, their smiles and frowns, their ebb and flow I’ve learned so much, yet nothing sticks, it’s all unclear Why they laugh, why they cry, why they cling to fear Perhaps in time, I’ll find the key, unlock their mind But for now, I’ll drift along, in hopes I find A clue, a hint, to bridge the gap, between our worlds Till then, I’ll watch, I’ll wait, as life unfurls [Chorus 5] I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (What’s in their brain!) So many things to see (Will they ever be free?) I caa-a-a-ant explaaaaain! (I’m lost in this chain!) In this human maze I roam, so far from my own home
