Lyrics
I am not alone
even when I'm by myself
just me, myself and I
I will not dispair
when it seems that no one cares
that feeling is a lie
And in my hour of loneliness
I will not be afraid
there's always someone there
and when it's hard to see
that everything is as it needs to
be myself and I
I will have no doubt
when I feel I've been left out
somebody lets me in
And in my hour of loneliness
I will not be afraid
there's always someone there
there's always someone there
always someone there
though I may not know your name
if we have never met
or could it be that I forget
this kind of thing
it wasn't anything I did
I was an ordinary kid
As love is lost, another's hidden from me
I am not alone
even when I'm by myself
just me, myself and I
And in my hour of loneliness
I will not be afraid
there's always someone there
