“You’re Never Alone” by Bryan Barstow

When you’re down heavy burdened and you wish this day to be done, 

When you feel you are broken and you have no strength to go on,

This voice is saying to you (believe) for I am the one,

To let you know that you’re never alone, I bring you love, peace, joy and hope,

I am with you everywhere you go, so remember that you’re never alone. 

When you’re lost and have no friend, no one you can turn to,

It seems so hopeless, like it never ends.

Never knowing what to do, yet this voice keeps saying to you I am the one,

Sometimes it takes a fall to make a stand, sometimes you lose it all before you understand,

Then it comes to you in a song, he’s been with you all along. 

So remember you’re never alone.
