All Alone, All Along
I was on a swing
Bring us peace in mind
In the end, I had to get off of it
I was dancing for hours
I found my place above the city
My eyes begin to water…
Life’s a bother –
A real, big bother
Brother…oh brother…
Stabilize me please
Tranquilize the compassionless skies,
As bitter as telling lies
Energize me with your breeze
For the sake of my safety
Brother…oh brother…
Put my mind at ease…
Make me as tall as the majestic trees
For I am brought low…and left to be
(All alone…all along)x3
I was listening to my sister’s piano playing
Bring me peace in mind…before I grow blind
In the end, I follow you like that picture of geese on the wall
I fell on the floor…the light cowers
Away from the nighttime…I found that
I belong in the mountains – as the night pushes away the day,
Life’s a sad song, a real sad tune of a song
Mother…oh mother…
Reflect on me please
Embrace the mournful skies,
Purifying the poverty, driving away all doubts and whys
Will you pray on your knees?
For the sake of our safety
Father…oh father…
Give her time and nurture her…
I feel her…I know she’s unsure
Cheer her up like the dazzling stars
For I’m friends with Gravity …heal her scars
Look after her and forget about me, for I am
(All alone…all along)x3
Alone, I roam
I’m seeking shelter…
A placid place called Home
I can’t hold on any longer
Might as well let go for the time being
So, I decide to…let go…
Dread spanks me to death
Alone, I groan
My mind has been blown
As if a bomb was planted in my brain
Am I turning insane by this unbearable pain?
I’m just waiting for the sun to bloom in the sky
Sometimes, I ask God why…
Why has tragedy ensnared me?
Why am I in this chamber of insanity?
I let my doleful spirits go…the wind will blow it away…
I lay my weary head down to bed…
The sun will rise in no time…wait your turn
I yearn for this burn
Of rejection and loneliness to unleash me
Voices haunt me…
Voices taunt me…
There’s no room for rejoicing
I object! I refuse to be trapped in desolation
YOU WILL NOT TAKE AWAY MY WELLBEING…
I’ll say this without hesitation
You will witness my frustration…
Reach out to me
Flee from me…misery
Something’s missing…in my life
Something’s wrong…I can sense it in your eyes
I can read your mind…
Don’t let the clouds smother me…
Tears cloud my eyes and I can’t help but cower away
Are you praying for a merciful day?
Are you grazing in fields of flowers?
How long will this last? For hours?
I’m listening to these lies
I’m starting to believe it
Don’t wave your heartless goodbyes
This journey is more like a Poverty Pit
Search for Him like hidden treasure
For the sake of our heart’s desire
Has sin and spitefulness devoured us like hell’s fire?
Bring us to the gates of sacred bliss
For we are distraught…and we’re left here
All alone…all along…
We will earn our freedom
Why are we overflowing with alarm and grief?
We will enter the Kingdom
God has promised it will bring us true relief
So, have faith in Him and we’ll be
Together as one…right from the start…
