Stranger Now

This is my first post here. It's good to be around.
Comments are really nice, negative, positive, or constructive.

Woke up in the night
To a knocking on my door
Told the man to go away
I can’t see his face anymore

I used to know him well
He was a friend of mine
He got up and took a walk
Now he’s back, and his face has lines

He has grown into a man
But he left me in his wake
He doesn’t understand
What for us to give and take

He’s a stranger now
So much stranger now
How life seems to divide
Brothers apart, heart from heart
The truth from men who lied

Fell asleep once more
To the sound of morning rain
Knocking on my door
I ignored it once again

It is him again, I said
So I watched the fireplace burn
Wondering when they would
Take me to where I can learn

Where can I learn
How to grow into a wise old guy
Tell me, teacher
Why is he so much more than I?

He’s a stranger now
So much stranger now
How life seems to divide
Brothers apart, heart from heart
The truth from men who lied

-A. Ries

I like your lyrics while just reading them, they already sound nice, it would be great to actually hear them one day!

Depending on the way this song develops, I would maybe think about changing this part a bit, the lines are very similar.. but it really depends on the way you sing it I think.. it could also sound quite good with the right style

Are nice these lyrics. If I were you, I would put them on a ballade played by a guitar. I would say "So stranger" sang smth like "soooo... pause straange"
My point
Anyway great job. I see a lot f personal creations here, I may think 'bout putting mines
