Everybody’s a Little Lonely

Everybody's a little lonely —

The young ones and the old ones,

The poor ones and the rich ones,

Those who know how to laugh,

And those who learned how to cry.

Everybody's a little lonely —

The sick ones and the healthy ones,

The frail ones and the strong ones,

Those who know how to be brave,

And those who cannot cast their fears aside.

'Cause everybody's a little lonely —

The single ones and the married ones,

The serious ones and the jolly ones,

Those who take your breath away,

And those who have no one by their side.

I hope someday we'd learn to see,

That there's a bit of lonely in you and me.

Maybe then we could finally understand,

And we could all be a bit less lonely

Once we become each other’s friend.
