[Verse 1]
Everybody knows that the world is wrong
Only thing to do is to write a song
That’s one way to take a wrong and make it alright
So drink up your time, take a pill for the pain
Come out of the dark and in from the rain
I want to see your face in the glow of the firelight
[Pre-Chorus]
The water’s warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You’ve always known
There’s someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
[Chorus]
You’re not alone
[Verse 2]
Gaze in my eyes and tell me I’ll be alright
Even if I don’t get what I need tonight
Sometimes the complexity gets a little complex
But other times it’s easy as baking a pie
Falling off a log and living till you die
What would even be the point if we knew what comes next?
[Pre-Chorus]
The water’s warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You’ve always known
There’s someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
[Chorus]
You’re not alone, yeah
You’re not alone
OK
[Bridge]
Dance, love, pray to the beat
Make a little poem you can sing in the street
Who you gonna believe, the TV or your beating heart?
You wanna fight the power or tell it the truth
You better take the fight to the voting booth
Sharpen your senses ‘cause you’re gonna have to see in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
The water’s warm
And no one ever told you life was long
And believed it
You’ve always known
There’s someone out there watching as you go
Just a feeling
[Outro]
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
