ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He's a stranger
I don't know where he's coming from
Is he a danger to me?
Or just another man?
He knows magic
Or maybe he's a charlatan...
Is it a sly trick he plays?
Does he have a plan?
OKKIE HUYSDENS:
He said he came from a world beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind...
He said he'd burn like star and disappear
But leave his spirit behind...
ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He's a stranger
A man with a destiny
A rearranger of fate
A changer of lives
They will erase him
For they are all afraid of him
They're gonna trace him, and then
Cause him to die...
OKKIE HUYSDENS:
He said he'd cure me. I do not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands...
He said he'd always be there, everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand
ROBERT SOETERBOEK:
He was a stranger
They shot him, and now he's dead
I'm out of danger, he lives on...
Inside my head
BOTH:
He said he came from a world beyond my dreams
From the depths of my mind... (From the depths of mind!)
He said he'd burn like star and disappear
But leave his spirit behind...
He said he'd cure me. I do not have to die
I hold my fate in my hands... (I hold my fate in my hands!)
He said he'd always be there, everytime I'd cry
One day I would understand
