You Are Not Alone

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

YOU FEEL YOUR NIGHTS ARE VERY DARK
AND SITUATIONS ARE VERY HARSH
IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ARE TRAPPED IN A CAGE
AND YOUR STORMS DON’T CEASE TO RAGE
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
AM HERE, YOU CAN STILL GO ON


YOUR HEART HAS LOST ITS RHYTHMIC BEATS OF JOY
NOW EVERY BEAT COMES WITH A GROAN
PAINFUL SIGHS ARE NOW YOUR DAILY SONG
THERE IS NO LIFE IN YOUR BONES
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
AM HERE, YOU CAN SMILE AGAIN


YOU WONDER HOW LONG YOU ARE GONNA BE IN THAT PRISON
WHERE THERE IS NO ONE TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS
WHERE ARE THE FRIENDS THAT USED TO SHARE YOUR SORROWS
YOU CAN ONLY COUNT THE SHADOWS
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
AM HERE, I WILL NOT GO AWAY


YOU NO LONGER SMELL THE SWEET SCENT OF A ROSE
THERE’S ONLY A PUNGENT SMELL YOU LOATHE
YOU CAN’T SEE THE RAINBOW’S BEAUTIFUL HUE
YOU CAN’T LOOK UP BECAUSE OF THE YOKE SO HUGE
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
AM HERE, AM STILL AROUND


YOUR EYES ARE SORE BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS CRYING
YOU FEEL YOUR SPIRIT IS DYING
YOU ARE WALKING IN THE DESERT AND YOUR THROAT IS PATCHED
THERE IS NO WATER TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
AM HERE TO KEEP YOU ALIVE
