Alone by Maya Angelou

"Alone" by Maya Angelou
 
 
Well I was lying, thinking, last night,
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty,
and bread loaf is not stone
Well, I came up with one thing,
and I don't believe that I'm wrong:
 
Alone, all alone,
Nobody can make it out here alone
Nobody can make it out here alone
 
Well, there are some millionaires
With money they can't use,
Their wives run around like banshees,
And their children, they're singing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure they're hearts of stone,
But nobody, no nobody, can make it alone
 
Alone, all alone,
Nobody can make it out here alone
Nobody can make it out here alone
 
Now if you listen closely, I'll tell you what I know,
Storm clouds are gathering,the wind is gonna blow.
The race of man is suffering, and I can hear the moan,
But nobody, no nobody, can make it alone.
 
Alone, all alone,
Nobody can make it out here alone
Nobody can make it out here alone
