Surrounded by people laughing and joking

But I stand alone, my heart is broken.

Why is it that the lonely get so depressed

And their emotions put to a test.

Why is it that we stand alone

And in our hearts no light is shone.

Why do the lonely feel so out of place

And their feelings show on their face.

Why is it that we stand alone?

We all have feelings, that is known.

Alone on a crowded street

and the pitter patter Of every ones feet.

On a bus or on a train, you still feel the same.

Alone amongst family and friends

I felt that I was at my wits end.

No one to turn to , no one to call my own

I was feeling down and all alone.

Now I’m going to do like so many others

And hide my face behind a mask

And cheat and lie to all around

And throw the sorrows to the ground.

GOD had given me a smile to use

And I will use it when I choose.

You will no longer see the lonely me

For my GOD has set me free.
