"no one is alone"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no one here to guide you,
now you're on your own.
only me beside you,
still you're not alone.
no one is alone,
truly,
no one is alone.
sometimes people leave you,
halfway through the wood.
others may deceive you,
you decide what's good.
you decide alone,
but,
no one is alone.
people make mistakes,
fathers, mothers,
people make mistakes
holding to their own,
thinking they're alone.
honor their mistakes,
everybody makes
one another's terrible mistakes.
witches can be right,
giants can be good,
you decide what's right,
you decide what's good,
just remember...
someone is on your side,
someone else is not.
while you're seeing your side,
maybe you forgot
they are not alone.
no one is alone.
hard to see the light now,
just don't let it go.
things will turn out right now,
we can make it so.
someone is on your side,
no one is alone.

I needed to hear this as well. This damn near brought tears to my eyes, making me think about someone. Very hard situation I'm in right now...I've read some of the writing on here, and I must say I'm impressed. I'd be willing to bet that I post something about my situation soon. Take care, and thank you oh so much for posting this.

"when first I appear, I seem deleterious..."
"...SHUT UP!!"
into the woods and out of the woods and home before dark!
I'm amused and surprised that although I haven't seen these lyrics or heard this song or indeed given more than a passing thought to this play in about seven years, I instantly remembered the tune. AAAAAUGGGGHHHHH high school drama club flashbacks..
