Alone

Billions of people on this planet

and yet we're all alone.

Timbuctoo is a mere keystroke away

and yet we're all alone.

"For better or for worse," we pledge at the altar,

and yet we're all alone.

We'll all live and love, hope and dream, seek and wonder

and yet we'll always be alone.

Not until you've been totally and utterly alone

will you know the strength of your soul.
