I hope people don’t think I’m making light of this serious situation (I’m a suicide attempt survivor myself), but music can really help in my beliefs and opinions. Amy Grant’s song You’re Not Alone has lyrics I feel can really help in times of crisis.
“I saw you walking by yourself
Your eyes were crying out for help
I know you feel your pain is more
Than anyone’s been hurt before
I know love hurts when it’s over
If you wanna cry it’s all right
You’re like a fallen soldier
But you just can’t lay down and die
You’ve got to remember you’re not alone in this world
Always remember you’re not alone in this world
The moment that I looked at you
I recognized the killing truth
You really think there’s no way out
But if you let me, I can help you now
Through all these shattered emotions
There’s a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you closer
Love can soothe what love has burned
You’ve got to remember you’re not alone in this world
Always remember you’re not alone in this world
You’ve got to remember
Never alone, never alone, never, never alone
I got to tell you baby
Through all these shattered emotions
There’s a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you closer
Love can soothe what love has burned
You’ve got to remember you’re not alone in this world
Always remember you’re not alone in this world
You’ve got to remember (got to remember) you’re not alone in this world
Always remember (always remember)
You’re not alone in this world”.
Cheers, Mikey
