Written by: Ben Harper

like an old man
sitting alone at a lunch counter
like a small town girl
a big city devours
some of us laugh
even in our darkest hour

never leave lonely alone

unspoken rules of solitude
wound without a trace
a lifetime of dreams roll down your face
all that we can't say
is all we need to hear
when you close your eyes
does the world disappear

there's something in everyone
only they know
it moves in the hidden ways
of joy and sorrow

never leave lonely alone
