Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There was a time I was one of a kind Lost in the world out of me myself and I Was lonely then like an alien I tried but I never figured it out Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd Ooh that was then like an alien But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Crossed through the universe to get where you are Travel the night riding on a shooting star Was lonely then like an alien Had to get used to the world I was on While yet still unsure if I knew where I belong Ooh That was then like an alien But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone (Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone Not alone not alone not alone, not alone not alone not alone)
