Never Alone

by: Lowgold

Creation born a lonely, never alone
To the boundary, to the border
Never alone
Find an exit, and an order
Never alone, never alone
The sound to warm your heels
Follow in the language you speak
'til no one can hear
In the shade behind the main attraction
Turn to the sun, your guiding star
Cos that's just what you are
Yeah that's just what you are
Nothing sacred, nothing holy, never alone
Through the boundary
Through the border
Never alone, never alone, never alone
The sound to warm your heels
Follow in the language you speak
'til no one can hear
In the shade behind the main attraction
Turn to the sun your guiding star
Cos that's just what you are
Yeah that's just what you are
