It's who we are It's where we're going And it's where we've been
In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top I will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to who What its like when your love shatters Standing in the lurch in a church Where people saying: My God, that's tough she's stood him up No point in us remaining We might as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and oh so gay Looking forward to well wouldn't do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down My reality came around And without so much, as a mere touch Put me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt All about God and His mercy Or if He really does exist Why did He desert me in my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? Do we even care?
It's who we are It's where we're going And it's where we've been
Now looking back over the years And whatever else has occurred I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
It's who we are It's where we're going And it's where we've been
