 D                         A
You're never alone in the world
Bm                         G
You're never alone in the world
D                                A
If you believe in each and every one of us
Bm                         G
You're never alone in the world

Bm               D
I was born in a lost and found
A                       Em
An orphan raised in the underground
Bm             D
Then one day I opened up my eyes
A                    Em
Looked around and I realized

Bm
No mother...
D
No father...
A
No sister...
Em
And no brother
Bm
So I cried out
D
To the heavens
A                             Em
"Could this be all there really is?"
then someone said...

Chorus:
D                          A
You're never alone in the world
Bm                         G
You're never alone in the world
D                                A
If you believe in each and every one of us
Bm                         G
You're never alone in the world

Someone said we're one family
How can that be with all this poverty?
Time to reach out and make a start
Hold each other's hands and lift each other's
hearts

If you're thirsty, drink the water from my hand
If you're hungry, take my bread, I'll understand
If you're lonely, you can always share my bed
"Could this be all there really is?",
then someone said

Chorus:
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world, baby
(No, you're never alone)
You believe in each and everyone of us (No)
You're never alone in the world, baby

If you're thirsty, drink the water from my hand
If you're hungry, take my bread, I'll understand
If you're lonely, you can always share my bed
"Could this be all there really is?",
then someone said

Chorus:
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world, baby (Never alone)
You believe in each and everyone of us (You and me)
You're never alone in the world, baby
If you're thirsty, drink the water from my hand
If you're hungry, take my bread I'll understand
You're never alone in the, you're never
alone in the--
"Could this be all there really is?",
then someone said
