about

I love oxymorons. And metaphors. And I think I overused both in this song.

lyrics

ALWAYS AND NEVER ALONE

When I am lost in a clouded world of dreams I don’t see
Sunlight can’t get through to me
I’m in a forest of desert sands,
A million faces , but no one there to hold my hand
And I know my mind’s a maze that no one can get through
And my heart is filled with feelings no one ever knew
But You, oh You. You reach inside my life and set me free
Only You can see the secret part of me

I’m always and never alone with You
You’re with me always, even in my darkest days
Always and never alone with You
You fill me up and tell me that I’ll be okay
Always and never alone.

Once I was scaling an endless wall
With splintered nails and no one there to catch my fall
Scratching the surface for tarnished truths
Beneath the burning lies that came and stole my youth
Oh, all these puzzled pieces never make me whole
When I look into my eyes, I can’t find my soul
But you, o You, You open up my eyes so I can see
Only You can find the secret heart in me.

I’m always and never alone with You
You’re with me always, even in my blackest nights
Always and never alone with You
You lift me up and tell me that I’ll be all right
Always and never alone.

You, o You, bring light into my life so I can see
Only You can silence all the storms that rage in me
Oh, You throw open wide the gates and set me free
Only You can see the secret part of me
