Lyrics

 * (Ooh, I like this one.)

I was lost and scared and all alone And there was darkness and all of my fears had grown Into a monster I could not contain It had claws and teeth and oh so many fangs Then I saw your eyes

I was falling wind was sweeping, rushing past I could not find my way back to the ground Wings like bird's would have slowed my descent But I could not spread them all by myself Then I felt your hands

I can see I'm not alone not alone Not alone You were standing there all along, all along Faces in the distance reaching out I am not alone (x4) I can see I'm not alone any more

The sea was waiting for me But I didn't know how to use my fins The sky was always up there But my feathers seemed so awkward

I'm taking the time now to do the things That I couldn't do before I can do it by myself now But it's comforting to know you're always there

If I trip or if I fall or if I'm just too scared...

I can see I'm not alone, not alone Not alone You were standing there all along, all along. Faces in the distance reaching out I am not alone I am not alone I can see I'm not alone You can see you're not alone We can see we're not alone anymore
