16/52 Rock Therapy: "You Are Not Alone" by Mavis Staples
/You Are Not Alone
by Mavis Staples
You're not alone
I'm with you
I'm lonely too
What's that song
Can't be sung
By two?
A broken home
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
You're not alone
Every night
I stand in your place
Every tear
On every face
Tastes the same
A broken dream
A broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
An open hand
An open heart
There's no need to be afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone
Rock Therapy thoughts...
Amen, Mavis! This song says it all just fine the way it is and doesn't need commentary. So I'll just share my fav line from one of my fav hymns, "In the quiet heart is sorrow that the eye cannot see." (Lord I Would Follow Thee).
"Every tear on every face tastes the same."
Suffering is the human common denominator. We are all in this together. So let's, please, be there for one another.
