ALONE ON THE STREET

I’m walking down an empty street,
The city lights are fading out.
So many faces know my name,
But I don’t know who I can trust.

They say they’ll always stand beside me,
They say, “You can count on me.”
But when the trouble comes knocking,
We’ll see who’s really there for me.

Friends are easy when the sun is shining,
Easy when there’s nothing to lose.
But when the night comes down around you,
You’ll find out who you can choose.

Feel it now,
You’re alone on the street.
There’s nobody beside you,
No one you can meet.

You’re alone on the street,
You don’t have anybody.
Only God is watching over you,
Only God is keeping you.

I’ve shared my table with so many,
I’ve called so many friends.
We laughed together through the good times,
I thought those days would never end.

But trouble changes people’s faces,
One by one they disappear.
The ones who promised they’d be with me
Suddenly are nowhere near.

Maybe I expected too much,
Maybe I believed too much.
But love that disappears in trouble
Was never love enough.

Feel it now,
You’re alone on the street.
There’s nobody beside you,
No one you can meet.

You’re alone on the street,
You don’t have anybody.
Only God is watching over you,
Only God is keeping you.

So let the cold wind hit your face,
Let the lonely night roll on.
You may have lost the ones you trusted,
But you haven’t lost it all.

When every human hand lets go,
When every door is closed,
There’s still a light above the darkness,
There’s still a hand that holds.

Feel it now,
You’re alone on the street.
There’s nobody beside you,
No one you can meet.

You’re alone on the street,
You don’t have anybody.
Only God is watching over you,
Only God is keeping you.
