It's a last resort And you wake each day with your thoughts And it scares you being alone, Don't talk to strangers, And don't walk into danger. Oh you go to sleep on your own, Don't talk to strangers. Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side It

You better hope you're not alone It will defeat you then teach you to get back up After it takes away all that You learn to love Higher than your heart Hope you're not alone Your shadow walks faster than you

So maybe you could walk with me a while And maybe I could rest beneath your smile Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold Maybe I could rest beneath your smile It's a long trip alone over sand and stone That lie along the road that we all

Only love, love, love Love, forever Brings us together Only love, forever and ever Round and round and round we go Waiting for the wind to blow Only love can bring us home As we walk the streets alone Waving powerless and blind

'Cause it ain't easy No, it ain't easy It ain't easy I walk a hard line, winding road Don't really know where it's gonna go Seems like trouble's my best friend Soon as I get out, I'm back in again It's a wonder, I ain't all alone

If it leads me to you As I walk this world, tired and alone Got one foot in the grave, Lord, help me make it home I'll carry your pain, my words bleed straight and true My lost heaven has been turned upside down Dead and buried is the joy which I once

Ring them bells, ring them loud Let them ring here and now Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom Stand your ground And ring the bells of freedom Like you've lost every round I have walked all alone On these streets I call home Streets of hope,

Cause they disappear in the light Cause they look a lot like mine And listen to me, it's okay to be afraid Just walk like you're never alone Baby, I don't I, I need you to understand I don't mind your shadows And I don't mind your shadows And I don't

None other has ever known And He walks with me, and He talks with me And He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God

And we all have to walk it alone I could move to a small town And become a waitress Say my name was Stacy And I was figuring things out See, my baby, he left me And I don't feel like staying here tonight I remember sleepless nights I remember Chicago
