Once I stood
in the night
with my head bowed low
In the darkness
as black as could be
And my heart
felt alone and I cried
Oh Lord
don't hide
Your face from me
Like a king
I may live
in a palace so tall
With great riches
to call my own
But I don't know a thing
in this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way
every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand
let me stand
where no one stands alone
Take my hand
let me stand
where no one stands alone
