ALONE
SHE IS FRIGHTENED THAT SHE WILL NOT RAISE HER CHILDREN WELL
SHE IS FRIGHTENED THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE BEST OF THINGS
SHE IS FRIGHTENEND THAT THEY WILL ONE DAY GROW UP AND MOVE AWAY LEAVING
HER TOTALLY ON HER OWN
SHE IS FRIGHTENED FOR SHE FEELS SO ALONE
SHE HAS NO OTHER TO TURN TO FOR SUPPORT
SHE HAS NO OTHER TO HUG WHEN SHE IS BLUE
SHE HAS NO OTHER TO SHARE HER DAY WITH AT THE END OF THE EVENING
SHE HAS NO OTHER TO SHARE HER DREAMS AND HER DESIRES
SHE HAS NO OTHER TO SHARE HER FEARS
SHE IS FRIGHTENED FOR SHE FEELS SO ALONE
WHILE SHE HAS FRIENDS IT IS NOT FRIENDS THAT SHE NEEDS
WHILE SHE HAS THE LOVE OF HER CHILDREN IT IS NOT THEIR
LOVE HER HEART ACHES FOR
AND WHILE STRANGERS GIVE HER ATTENTION IT IS NOT THE TYPE
OF ATTENTION SHE LONGS FOR
SHE IS FRIGHTENED FOR SHE FEELS SO ALONE
SHE FEARS DREAMING FOR DREAMING MAKES HER REALIZE HER LONLINESS
PEOPLE SAY HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN HIM AND ALL WILL BE FINE
PEOPLE SAY IF YOU HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN HIM YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE
BUT EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS FAITH AND DOES BELEIVE
SHE IS FRIGHTENED FOR SHE FEELS SO ALONE
IT IS A LONLINESS THAT ONLY A HEART THAT HAS NEVER BEEN LOVED CAN FEEL
IT IS A LONLINESS THAT ONLY SHE CAN UNDERSTAND
IT IS A LONLINESS THAT SENDS HER DEEPER EACH DAY INTO HIDING
SHE IS FRIGHTENEND FOR SHE FEELS SO ALONE
BUT WHAT FRIGHTENS HER MORE THAN THE LONLINESS ITSELF
IS THE FEELING THAT SHE IS SLOWLY DYING INSIDE
FOR THE JOYS SHE ONCE FELT FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE GONE
AND WHAT FRIGHTENS HER IS THE FEELING THAT SOON SHE WILL
FEEL NOTHING AT ALL
SHE IS FRIGHTENED FOR SHE IS ALONE
