Alone by Maya Angelou

Alone

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.

    Untreatable,

    I know that you do not do MEME’s, but do you accept awards. Bradley has given me one and I wanted to give you one. I completely understand if you do not want to participate. I hope the weekend was okay for you. I also hope that you read my response to your comment regarding the post about my mother being BPD.

    take care,
    Clueless

    Hey Clueless: I do not participate anything that requires the person to name off five more sites on top of providing a back link to the original award site. It is nice to get them but the thought of trying to pick five sites out of the many I visit on a daily basis just does not seem right to me.

    take care
