Being alone, I stare at the sky, Wishing its laws were mine to command; I would dim the moon's refulgent light -- Might that help Heaven to understand?
Just as the moon's radiance would be missed If it were abducted from its realm, So my ship sails with no guiding light -- Too long I've stood alone at the helm
Would the dreary woodland not rejoice Hearing the song of one faithful bird? Yet, alone I trudge down Life's harsh path, Deprived of Love's reassuring word
Being alone, I find no reason To greet the dawning day with a smile; I see no sense in praying for strength To carry my cross another mile
Being alone, I cannot believe There's a God who feels pity for me; Without Love's light my ship navigates In the darkness . . . and I'm lost at sea
And if it's a sin to renounce faith In a God who cares, then cast your stone! No form of chastisement could be worse Than this bitter pain of being alone
