Standing Alone
Hey, you, standing alone
Sick from the violence that's all you have known
Guarding, all night and day
The little you have lest it be ripped away
Locked in a vigil with never an end
Can't even trust to show weakness to a friend
"Even when you are hurt
Exiled to the end of the earth
Still to the Lord you matter
He'll seek, find, and he will gather
You, searching across the world til you safely are back."
Hey, you, walking alone
Straight on the high road that's all you have known
Strong in your confident stride
Someday I'm sure you'll be dissatisfied
Seeing the suffering spread before you
But seek out God's will and there's much you can do
"Since there will never cease
To be someone in need
Thus, child I command you
To go, open up your hand to
Your neighbor who lies in need and the poor of your land."
Hey, you, sleeping alone
Sick of the silence that's all you have known
Lonesome, empty inside
The road leads to darkness, you go for the ride
Losing yourself in the mists of despair
You think no one's left to wonder, nobody to care
"Even though you've been hurt
Exiled to the end of the earth
Still to the Lord you matter
He'll seek, find, and he will gather
You, searching across the world til you safely are back."
Hey, you, working alone
Wondering why this is all you have known
Waiting for life's meaning to start
The world's pretty ugly, but you've done your part
You figure it can't hurt to ask in a prayer
You find out God's answer has always been there
"Since there will never cease
To be someone in need
Thus, child I command you
To go open up your hand to
Your neighbor who lies in need and the poor of your land."
