Lyrics

No one here to guide you.

Now you’re on your own.

On ly me be side you.

Still you’re not a lone.

No one is a lone,

tru ly.

No one is a lone,

Some times peo ple leave you,

Half way through the wood.

Oth ers may de ceive you.

You de cide what’s good.

You de cide a lone.

But no one is a lone.

Peo ple make mis takes.

Fa thers, Moth ers, Peo ple make mis takes,

Hold ing to their own,

Think ing they’re a lone.

Hon or their mis takes.

Ev ’ry bod y makes one an oth er’s ter ri ble mis takes.

Witch es can be right, Gi ants can be good.

You de cide what’s right, You de cide what’s good.

Just re mem ber: Some one is on your side.

Some one else is not.

While you’re see ing your side,

May be you for got:

They are not a lone.

No one is a lone.

Hard to see the light now.

Just don’t let it go.

Things will come out right now.

We can make it so.

Some one is on your side,

No one is a lone.
