Stranger, you taught me
That some people care
No condition
Or strings attached
You gave me hope
Newly discovered
I could be myself
Without fear
Stranger, you showed me
Some people do dare
To look gently
Beneath the mask
You gave me faith
Absent awhile
That from this facade
I could peer
Stranger, you led me
Out from my dark lair
A newborn soul
Free from the past
You gave me a dream
A purpose unfurled
Revealing to me
Life was dear
