When all your thoughts are sad and lonely

When all your pains feel way too much

When every bit of happiness is tainted

When every bit of joy has dissipated

Know that you are not alone

In mind and spirit

I've been there, I know how you feel

Though our battles are different

and our wars unique

We've all faced those shadows

The kind that loom over you

That follow you, stalk you

that keep you wide awake

That stop you from rising

Some are still under their cloak

Suffering in silence

Some have come into the light

Know that you are not alone

In mind and spirit

I've been there, I know how you feel

Though our battles are different

and our wars unique

We've all faced those shadows

Know that you are not alone
