I'll Walk Alone
Alfred Hitchcock; Jeff Alexander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this day on
His helping hand I'll lean upon
This is my prayer my humble plea
May the lord be ever with me
There is no death though eyes grow dim
There is no fear when I'm near to him
And he'll forsake me never
He will not fail me as long as my faith is strong
What ever road I may walk alone
I'll walk with god
I'll take his hand
I'll talk with god he'll understand
I'll pray to him
Each day to him
And he'll hear the words that I say
His hand will guide my throne and rod
And I'll never walk alone
While I walk with god
The lyrics of "I'll Walk Alone" by Jeff Alexander express the singer's unshakeable faith in God as they embark on a journey alone. The song is a prayer to God, acknowledging his ever-present help, and faithful companionship. The singer acknowledges there may be times when they walk alone, but their faith in God will never waiver. They are confident that God will guide and protect them in every step of the journey. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not afraid to walk alone, as long as God's helping hand is upon them. The song's final line - "And I'll never walk alone while I walk with God" - serves as a poignant reminder that they will never truly be alone as long as they have God by their side.
As a master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock was known to appreciate the dramatic tension in music. The lyrics of "I'll Walk Alone" would have likely resonated with him, particularly as they evoke a sense of isolation and uncertainty that Hitchcock often explored in his films. The song's message of faith, however, may not have been something that the famously agnostic director could relate to.
