I'm Just a Stranger Lost in the Crowd

This is actually lyrics that I wrote in 2005. Transition between middle school and high school. One of my first attempts at writing lyrics.

"I'm Just a Stranger Lost in the Crowd"

Who is that girl standing?

Am I really who I want to be?

There are thoughts going through in my mind

About everything I'm going through

What is happening to me?

Who am I?

Chorus

I'm just a stranger lost in the crowd

Caught in the middle of a phase

I don't know where I belong

Where is the way

What should I wear

Who are my friends

I'm just a stranger lost in the crowd

I'm trying to be cool

But I feel like a fool

I'm losing myself

I'm trying to fit in

But when I look in the mirror

I realize

chorus repeated (2x)

Very relatable lyrics which is what makes this a hit.
So many of us have this way at this life stage.
Good write.

Thank you.I'm glad that they are relatable:)

These are special lyrics, they say so much, it's truly important at that age, to find out who you are, and where you stand for. I treasure it you posted them. Could sound fantastic with acoustic guitar...
Thank you for sharing a piece from back in the days, (lovely to see when we mature how things change)...

- My best,
Elisa

I like this one a lot, especially knowing how much you moved around before. Starting over in a new place at a new school is hard enough without not knowing any of the people around you, but you pulled through and became a social butterfly, which was just so brave of you.

This is also a perfect representation of that age in general. We are all trying to figure out where we belong and who we belong with, feeling like a stranger in the crowd as you said. Beautiful song Lyana, I bet it would sound great put to music.

Thank you Ashira:) actually it's one of my all time songs that I have written! I think it's because it is sooo relatable to me as well as you say that age too.

[Ashira Macy]

It most definitely is. It could be an age anthem!
