Never Alone

Once there was a little girl She thought she alone in the world Her whole life she hid behind a mask To cover up her pain and sorrow To keep her past at bay To keep her sorrow away She never knew she wasn’t alone She never would have thought of someone Someone who could understand her Help her in her pain, help her through She hid her pain away, deep down inside She never let the light shine into her soul Her pain lay in the dark, slowly consuming her But she never could imagine how to let it out To keep from eating her alive But one day, that one little girl She found that person She could feel something inside her It jumped and she opened up Let her pain come up and out It came bubbling out And she expected his speech to fail. She never knew she wasn’t alone She never would have thought of someone Someone who could understand her Help her in her pain, help her through She hid her pain away, deep down inside She never let the light shine into her soul Her pain lay in the dark, slowly consuming her But she never could imagine how to let it out To keep from eating her alive But his speech did not fail He helped her feel less lonely She knew she found someone Someone who could understand Because of what he had gone through He had suffered as she had In a much different way But he understood her pain She never knew she wasn’t alone She never would have thought of someone Someone who could understand her Help her in her pain, help her through She hid her pain away, deep down inside She never let the light shine into her soul Her pain lay in the dark, slowly consuming her But she never could imagine how to let it out To keep from eating her alive He could see she needed someone Someone to stand beside her For her to come to when she needed him Someone to always be there And he promised he would He would always be there To help her, to talk to her She never knew she wasn’t alone She never would have thought of someone Someone who could understand her Help her in her pain, help her through She hid her pain away, deep down inside She never let the light shine into her soul Her pain lay in the dark, slowly consuming her But she never could imagine how to let it out To keep from eating her alive That one little girl, she was never Never all by herself There was always someone to help To understand her pain She was never alone because Because he suffered when she did For her pain, he felt too Every tear she cried, he did too She was never, never alone.
