Alone Again

Nobody ever listened
Nobody clapped their hands
No one stood up on their feet
But everyone made demands
I tried to reach everyone I could
Tried to do all the things I should
Tried to be everybody's everything 
And have just the right thing to say
When I needed everyone the most 
I was standing all alone 
Like the sound of one hand clapping
Just like the colour of the wind
There I stood
Lost in the crowd
All Alone again
