No One Is Alone (Into the Woods)

Jun 07, 2010 00:12

Mother isn't here now
Who knows what she'd say.
Nothing's quite so clear now.
Feel you've lost your way?
You are not alone
Believe me, no one is alone
Believe me, truly.

You move just a finger
Say the slightest word
Something's bound to linger,
Be heard.
No one acts alone
Careful, no one is alone.

People make mistakes.
Fathers, mothers.
People make mistakes.
Holding to their own--
Thinking they're alone.
Honor their mistakes...
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes.

Witches can be right,
Giants can be good.
You decide what's right,
You decide what's good.
Just remember
Someone is on your side
(our side)
Someone else is not.
While we're seeing our side
Maybe we forgot
They are not alone.
No one is alone.

Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will work out right now
Ask me how I know . . .

lyrics, stephen sondheim
