You Are Not Alone

Deserted streets abandoned cars Darkened signs near dusty bars Silent stations empty stores Wind whistling through broken doors No one's crying 'cause no one's there A plaintive plea into the air As you reap so shall you sow One way streets nowhere to go Scavenge for your daily bread Remember what the bible said You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone That this could happen no one dreamed We would survive or so it seemed Politicians spouting platitudes Radicals spewing attitude Rising seas and falling trees Warring words and theologies Jets fly by while forests burn We see it all will no one learn Cracked brown earth scorching skies Barren fields with buzzing flies You're walked for miles through driving rain Past the corpses of derelict trains To find a signal to find a clue To see if there's anyone to answer you So gather your thoughts and pack your things 'Cause you don't know what tomorrow brings Stagger on 'neath the blazing sun And hope when all is said and done You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone
