Heather Miller - You Are Not Alone

©2023 Heather Miller, Purplemoor Music (ASCAP)

I can see salt water slipping from your eyes
I know the empty hollow in your bones
your stomach is home to a hundred butterflies
and your chest is a cage full of stone

today your bed's a prison
or maybe it's your mind
but everything seems useless
like you're running out of time

so if you can't find the stars
listen for the sound of my voice
I will sing you home
when you can't feel the ground beneath your feet
take my hand
you are not alone, you are not alone
you are not alone, you're not alone

well I've swum the underwater void, black and cold
and I've felt the devil's laughter grip my heart
I've been shaken so hard by the lies I was told
I thought that I might fall apart

and I’ve weathered the winters
that never seemed to end
felt the world on my shoulders
and didn't break but bent

so if you can't find the stars
listen for the sound of my voice
I will sing you home
If you can't feel the ground beneath your feet
take my hand
you are not alone, you are not alone
you are not alone, you're not alone

well I've seen the clearest lakes
from the peak of a mountain
felt the sun on my face
as I tossed coins in a fountain
I've held a baby newly born
and I've grown food from seed
joined voices with a choir
taken care of those in need

so if you can't find the stars
listen for the sound of my voice
I will sing you home
If you can't feel the ground beneath your feet
take my hand
you are not alone, you are not alone
you are not alone, you're not alone

you are not alone, you are not alone
you are not alone, you're not alone
