don't stand alone
when the walls close in
when it all comes falling down
who will pull you from the debris?
who will save you from the doom?

when you see the waters beneath
when the reprieve of death draws you in
and you're about to take the leap
who will be the rope that pulls you back?
you are the ship but who is your anchor?

when you've failed too many times
when life hits you too hard
who will be there?
telling you to try one last time?
holding you up when all you want to do is fall?

when you're throwing tantrums
and being unreasonable
who will always have a smile for you?
who will hear you out?
who will always be part of your supporters club?

you can't stand alone
you don't deserve to be alone
everyone needs somebody
so never stand alone
