We Are Not Alone

Sometimes I get scared
And I need to cry
Problems of the world
Bearing on my mind
Pressure I can’t take
It’s too much for me
What if I make a mistake
or try to fake it and everyone sees

We are not alone

Everyone was born
Of someone before
It’s a fact of life
It’s a metaphor
A baby can’t survive
All by its little self
And neither can a species
We all need some help

We are not alone

I forget to look
I forget to ask
I forget to notice
Because I go so fast
It’s not all up to me
Guidance all around
Just gotta admit what I don’t know
I gotta humble down

We are not alone

It’s a miracle
A gift that we’ve been given
That we’re here at all
Singing breathing living
I can melt the walls
I make in my head
And remember that together is how it is – and how it’s always been

We are not alone

We have an effect
Everything we do
You matter to me
I matter to you
It’s called community
It’s called relationship
That’s why we clean up our mess
and treat each other with respect

We are not alone
