You Are Not Alone

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.

lyrics by Benjamin Newman
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
