 Struggling with Not Alone? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I break down, fear is sinking in
The cold comes, racing through my skin
Searching for a way to get to you
Through the storm you
Go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You are not alone

With arms up, stretched into the sky
With eyes like, echoes in the night
Hiding from the hell that you've been through
Silent one, you
Go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known

You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known
You are not alone

You go, giving up your home
Go, leaving all you've known

You go, giving up your home
Go, you are not alone
You are not alone

You are not alone
