Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Never a word said with such truth which brought my thoughts to my own childhood born in the bowels of poverty and when I married this 16yrs old girl I made it...not alone..I made it...see what you made me say with your magic words

A great poem having universality of expression.
Plenty of wisdom and depth run through the whole poem. It's really thought provoking and honest.
Great write.

you are adept at putting into words what other people are feeling and what they can't express.

I first heard this poem when my grandaughter read this to me. she was rehershing for a recital for her 1st grade after school program. The poem is beautiful. It is so true. It captures the essence of how much material things by themselves are not enough.
