Not On My Own

from Stepping Stones by Ian Doherty

/

lyrics

I see the light, and then a shadow passes over
I know what’s coming next
I see the forecast,
And in spite of all my preparations
I still get soaking wet

My fear takes hold of me
I feel alone
I can’t break from its grip
Not on my own

My clothes get soggy, and my step gets slower
The weight of all this rain
Passing through the streets
I see so many others
Drenched in their own pain

My fear takes hold of me
I feel alone
I can’t break from its grip
Not on my own

And you can’t change the weather
All that you can do is wait it out
Thought you may not know
When the storm will end
But nothing lasts forever
I promise you that you can hold out
You’ll see the sun again
But until then…

I fall to the ground
And my vision gets so muddy
It’s clear I need a hand
But there are others in the mud
Who share my struggles
We’ll help each other stand

My fear takes hold of me
I feel alone
I can’t break from its grip
Not on my own

And I can feel, I can feel it coming back
Clenched around my soul
But knowing that you’ve got my back
Means everything
Here on my own
I’m not on my own
