Song For The Lonely – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When you're standing on the edge of nowhere

There's only one way up so your heart's got to go there

Through the darkest night

See the light shine bright

When heroes fall in love or war they live forever

This is a song for the lonely

Can you hear me tonight

For the broken hearted, battle scared, I'll be by your side

This is a song for the lonely when your dreams won't come true

Can you hear this prayer

'Coz someone's there for you

Wlll love don't need a reason

She can pick you up or leave you bleeding

I've seen a strong man cry

I know the reason why

We all forgive we all forget

We just keep believing

This is a song for the lonely

Can you hear me tonight

For the broken hearted, battle scarred, I'll be by your side

This is a song for the lonely when your dreams won't come true

When you hear this prayer

Know that someone's there for you

So let it find you

Where ever you may go

I'm right beside you

Don't have to look no more

You don't have to look no more, oh no

it's gonna be alright

it's gonna be alright

it's gonna be alright

This is a song, a song for the lonely

And that's not you only

Through the darket night

Gonna see the light
