PHIL COLLINS LYRICS

"Strangers Like Me"

Whatever you do, I'll do it too

Show me everything and tell me how

It all means something

And yet nothing to me

I can see there's so much to learn

It's all so close and yet so far

I see myself as people see me

Oh, I just know there's something bigger out there

I wanna know, can you show me

I wanna know about thesestrangers like me

Tell me more, please show me

Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Every gesture, every move that she makes

Makes me feel like never before

Why do I have

This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew

Of some other world far beyond this place

Beyond the trees, above the clouds

I see before me a new horizon

I wanna know, can you show me

I wanna know about these strangers like me

Tell me more, please show me

Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Come with me now to see my world

Where there's beauty beyond your dreams

Can you feel the things I feel

Right now, with you

Take my hand

There's a world I need to know

I wanna know, can you show me

I wanna know about these strangers like me

Tell me more, please show me

Something's familiar about these strangers like me

...I wanna know

Why did i chose this song?

I chose this song because I used to hear this artist when I was a child; it was composed by Phil Collin and it's from the movie of Tarzan.
Related to the movie, this song represents his feeling with his gorilla family. It seems that he has to make the choice to start something new, in a new world with a new person that look like him, where he wants to know her world and her life, that‘s Jane, but on the other hand, he found too much love with his family in the jungle that seems too difficult for him to leave them. It is as if the choice is hard and he doesn’t want to abandon his family.
If we analyzed the song from another context that is not about the movie… it shows us how much this girl means to him. He will do whatever it’s necessary to gain her love and be with her. He wants to share with her the world and his life; he is so devoted to her that everything she does for him he will do it for her.
