We Are Never Alone

I see me in you and you in me
That’s the way it’s supposed to be
Do you think we are on an island?
Do you think we’re grains of sand?

We’re on the same road
We carry the same load
Created by our ancestors
We are never alone

I watch the crowd move in town
And how it all goes down
Do we think we are on an island?
Do we think we’re grains of sand?

We’re boarding the same plane
We’re on the same train
Created by our ancestors
We are never alone

I’ve seen the horrible pain
It seems to always be the same
Do you think you’re alone?
Do you think we’re long gone?

We’re all in the same pickle
We’re facing the same chisel
Created by our ancestors
We are never alone

I see you in me and me in you
We are all just making due
Don’t think you’ve been left
Don’t think you’re adrift

We will get through it all
We won’t drop the ball
Created by our ancestors
We are never alone
