“You’re Not Alone” is a heartfelt song Caleb wrote at age thirteen after he heard about the death of Tyler Clementi, a young gay man who killed himself after being bullied by his peers. Since he grew up with two moms, this truly hit home for Caleb, and he decided to write a song supporting LGBT yout...
[Verse 1]
Isolated, I've been [?]
Left alone, but nowhere to go
[?], never been defended
I can't be, I can't be who I wanna be
Silently suffering
Seems I can't say anything
[Chorus]
If you think it's funny
Then think again
'Cause it's a long, long road
And it never ends, and it's not easy
To pretend that you're someone you're not
Again and again
Just remember that you're not alone
Eventually you'll find a home
Just remember you're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're never left alone, oh
[Verse 2]
Persecuted, I've been muted
It's like none of this will ever go away
Agonized, I cry and cry
Don't wanna live even [?] one more day
Don't be haunted by all the things people say
[Chorus]
If you think it's funny
Then think again
It's a long, long road
And it never ends, and it's not easy
To pretend that you're someone you're not
Again and again
Just remember you're not alone
Eventually you'll find a home
Just remember you're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're never left alone, oh
[Bridge]
We're better, shattered
No one will [?]
Devastated, mutilated
'Cause I can't be myself
Wonder what it's like to not be alive
[Chorus]
Everybody, if you think it's funny
Then think again
It's a long, long road
It never, it never ends, and it's not easy
To pretend that you're someone you're not
Again and again
Just remember you're not alone
Eventually you'll find a home
Just remember you're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're never left alone, oh
Just remember you're not alone
Eventually you'll find a home
Just remember you're not alone, oh

If one kid hears my song, for example, ‘You’re Not Alone’ and doesn’t hurt himself, that would be amazing.
