You Are Not Alone

[bnewman]

Based on a climactic scene from Final Fantasy IX, a game I have not played myself. That scene, and this piece of music, were recommended to me by a dear friend.

ttto: "You're Not Alone" from Final Fantasy IX by Nobuo Uematsu

 

listen to this song

( Am F Am G / Am G F E )

 

/ Am GEm AmF GC / Am C F E / 1st / Am F(C) FG Am /

 

You are not alone, though you seem to be on your own

Friends are standing by you, and friends will carry you through

You've not lost your soul, though you feel like you've lost control

We are here beside you, and we know what we must do

 

You are not alone, you can't hide behind walls of stone

Fear may build a fortress, but we're already inside

You're not helpless here, you have nothing but fear to fear

We've faced fiercer foes before, and fear has nowhere to hide

 

/ Am C D F / Am C Em E / F C D Am / F Em F -G /

 

There's a battle raging inside every one of us

Our fight to win or lose

Gather to your side every ally that you can trust

Those who will not refuse

 

There's a battle raging inside you and all around

Though you may seem outclassed

With the ones you love by your side you can stand your ground

You will prevail at last

 

You are not alone, though pain pierces you to the bone

Others, too, have suffered, and others feel what you feel

We've all walked apart, pieced together a broken heart

If we walk together we can help each other to heal

 

You are not alone, take a look at how much you've grown

And you're still growing stronger with every lesson you learn

Come and lend your aid, helping friends is how friends are made

And we can turn the world around by helping others in turn
