All alone
I will make it through
On my own
With no help from you
I tried to reach out for your hand
Cause no man can live without some help
But now I see what I've become
And I will make it by myself

And now
I must seal my soul
All around
No one wants the gold
That I've found
And no one really cares
If I hurt
Cause I'll make it through

There's no doubt
It's not that hard at all
So I'll learn
To stand proud and tall
And alone
To be a man who needs
No one else
Because I can trust no one
But myself...

--Peter Johnson, 1997
