You Are Not Alone

Jana Stanfield

You think you’re the only one
Caught under clouds that block the sun
Life’s not easy that’s the breaks
Everyone of us still makes mistakes
Everybody walks through heartache
Everybody walks through pain
But still we search the sky above
For rainbows after rain

You are not alone
Look around and you’ll see
Someone like me
Looking your direction
We all need connection
As we stumble toward our dreams
You are not alone
Look around and you’ll see
(***this line could be “Join together with me”)

Listen up ‘cuz here’s the deal…
Everybody feels the things we feel
Love and fear and gratefulness
Angry words we can’t forget
Everybody goes through bad times
Emotions black as night
But still we know the dawn is waiting
On the other side

Repeat chorus

We all need a little help now and then
All it takes is the courage
To open our hearts and reach out our hands

Repeat chorus

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

1 YOU THINK YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE
2 CAUGHT UNDER THE CLOUDS THAT BLOCK THE SUN (UNDERNEATH)
3 NOTHING LIKE A STORMY DAY
4 TO MAKE US FEEL WE’VE LOST OUR WAY
5 EVERYBODY WALKS THROUGH HEARTACHE
6 EVERYBODY WALKS THROUGH PAIN
7 BUT STILL WE SEARCH THE SKY ABOVE
8 FOR RAINBOWS AFTER RAIN

ALL OF US KNOW ABOUT FEELING SCARED
EVERYONE OF US HAS BEEN THERE
LIFE’S NOT EASY , THAT’S THE BREAKS
EVERYONE OF US STILL MAKES MISTAKES
EVERYDAY WE START OVER
EVERYDAY’S A BRAND NEW CHANCE (IS ONE MORE CHANCE_
TO BUILD A ____, MAKE A FRIEND OR
TO JUST REACH OUT OUR HANDS

YOU THINK YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE
CAUGHT UNDER CLOUDS THAT BLOCK THE SUN
LIFE’S NOT EASY THAT’S THE BREAKS
EVERYONE OF US STILL MAKES MISTAKES
EVERYONE OF US HAS HEARTACHE
EVERYONE OF US HAS PAIN
BUT STILL WE SEARCH THE SKY ABOVE
FOR RAINBOWS AFTER RAIN

WHATEVER YOU FEEL IS NOTHING NEW
EVERY ONE OF US HAS BEEN THERE TOO
WE ALL UNDERSESTIMATE
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN RELATE
LOVE AND GRIEF AND GRATEFULNESS
ANGER THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN’T FORGET
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU REACH OUT
JUST HOW EASY IT MIGHT BE
TO TAKE A CHANCE, TAKE SOMEONE’S HAND
AND SING THIS SONG WITH ME

THE FACT THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT IS
THE FACT THAT MAKES US ALL THE SAME

ALL OF US KNOW ABOUT FEELING SCARED
EVERYONE OF US HAS BEEN THERE
LIFE’S NOT EASY , THAT’S THE BREAKS
EVERYONE OF US STILL MAKES MISTAKES
EVERYBODY WALKS THROUGH HEARTACHE
EVERYBODY WALKS THROUGH PAIN
BUT STILL WE SEARCH THE SKY ABOVE
FOR RAINBOWS AFTER RAIN

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
LOOK AROUND AND YOU’LL SEE
SOMEONE LIKE ME
LOOKING YOUR DIRECTION
LOOKING FOR CONNECTION
AS WE STUMBLE TOWARD OUR DREAMS
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
LOOK AROUND AND YOU’LL SEE

YOU THINK YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE
CAUGHT UNDER THE CLOUDS THAT BLOCK THE SUN
YOU THINK NO ONE UNDERSTANDS
TAKE A CHANCE, REACH OUT YOUR HAND

LISTEN UP NOW HERE’S THE DEAL
EVERYBODY FEELS THE WAY WE FEEL
FEAR AND LOVE AND GRATEFULNESS
ANGRY THOUGHTS WE THINK WE CANT FORGET
(TEARSTAINED NIGHTS, DEEP REGRET)

IDEA: LET “REACH OUT YOUR HAND BE END OF SECOND VERSE”
LET WALKS THROU AND RAIN BE END OF FIRST VERSE

(WORKING EVERYDAY TO MAKE THE GRADE
(ALL OF US WORKING TO MAKE THE GRADE,
OR EVERYDAY’S ANOTHER MAKE OR BREAK)
EVERYDAY WE START OVER
