Mother cannot guide you

now you're on your own...

Only me beside you

still, you're not alone...

No one is alone.

Truly, no one is alone...

Sometimes people leave you

halfway through the wood

others may decieve you

you decide what's good

You decide alone

but no one is alone

Mother isn't here now

(wrong things, right things)

Who knows what she'd say?

(Who can say what's true?)

Nothing's quite so clear now

(do things, fight things)

Feel you've lost your way?

You decide, but

No one is alone...

Believe me, truly...

You move just a finger,

say the slightest word...

some things bound to linger

be heard...

No one acts alone,

careful,

no one is alone...

People make mistakes.

Mothers, fathers...

people make mistakes....

holding to their own

thinking their alone

Honor their mistakes

Fight for their mistakes

everybody makes

one anothers terrible mistakes

Witches can be right

giants can be good

you decide what's right

you decide what's good

Just remember,

someone is on your side,

someone else is not

While we're seeing our side,

maybe we forgot...

They are not alone,

no one is alone...

Hard to see the light now,

just don't let it go,

things will turn out right now,

we can make it so...

Someone is on your side...

No one is alone.

-Stephen Sondheim, "No One is Alone" from Into the Woods
