You Are Not Alone Lyrics

You're not alone
I'm with you
I'm lonely too

What's that song
Can't be sung
By two?

A broken home
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid

Open up, this is a raid
I want to get it through to you
You're not alone

You're not alone
Every night
I stand in your place

Every tear
On every face
Tastes the same

A broken dream
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid

Open up, this is a raid
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone

An open hand
An open heart
There's no need to be afraid

Open up, this is a raid
I want to get it through to you
You're not alone

I want to get it through to you
You're not alone

I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. on the meaning of life. "We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is." I think that is what this song is about. And why has no one commented on this song. When an angel sings we should listen.

That's what we should do, lift each other and also confess our own struggles. We're all in this together and with each other's strength, we pull one another. Beautiful lyrics!

This song, the lyrics, are so relatable .I believe that the songwriter had to experience great pain in his life , in his mind . The battle within. I believe he was able to connect spiritually directly to God to be able to touch others this way. I know this pain and being isolated, I needed to hear that I'm not alone , even though it feels like it every minute of every day .
