Never Alone
BarlowGirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you didn't show, no no no
I needed you today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
Said you'd be there
And though I haven't seen you
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel you by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here, and I'm never alone
And though I can not see you
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life
Whoa, we cannot separate
'Cause you're part of me
And though you're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel you by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here, and I'm never alone
We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though you're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel you by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here, and I'm never alone
The song "Never Alone" by BarlowGirl is about the comfort and reassurance of God's presence in the midst of difficulty and hardship. The opening verse begins with the singer waiting for someone who doesn't show up, ultimately leading to the realization that God is the one who won't let her down. The chorus declares the singer's hold on her faith, despite the absence of answers or tangible proof, by holding onto what she knows to be true: that God is present and she is never alone. The subsequent verses reaffirm this trust in the unseen, as well as the deep connection she feels to God, an integral part of her being.
The lyrics of the song are incredibly powerful and relatable, as it highlights the fragility of the human spirit in times of need and encourages listeners to hold onto their faith, even when things seem insurmountable. The song's message is rooted in the Christian faith, but its themes of perseverance, hope, and trust translate to anyone struggling with their own belief system or seeking comfort during difficult times.

I waited for you today
I expected to connect with you today
But you didn't show, no no no
But that connection didn't happen and I'm upset
I needed you today
I needed you to help me through something today
So where did you go?
So I'm wondering why you weren't there for me
You told me to call
You told me that you're always there for me
Said you'd be there
You assured me that you would be there for me
And though I haven't seen you
But even though I don't physically see you
Are you still there?
I'm questioning whether or not you are actually present
I cried out with no reply
I reached out to you, but I didn't get a response
And I can't feel you by my side
I don't feel your presence with me
So I'll hold tight to what I know
So I'll hold onto my faith and what I believe to be true
You're here, and I'm never alone
Believing that you are with me, and I am not alone
And though I can not see you
Even though I can't physically see you
And I can't explain why
And I can't understand why things happen the way they do
Such a deep, deep reassurance
But I feel a very deep sense of reassurance
You've placed in my life
That you've given me in my life
Whoa, we cannot separate
We cannot be separated
'Cause you're part of me
Because you are an integral part of me
And though you're invisible
Even though I can't see you or physically touch you
I'll trust the unseen
I'll still have faith and trust in what I cannot physically see or touch
So I'll hold tight to what I know
So I'll continue to hold onto my faith and what I believe to be true
You're here, and I'm never alone
Believing that you are with me, and I am not alone
We cannot separate
We cannot be separated
You're part of me
Because you are an integral part of me
And though you're invisible
And although I can't physically see or touch you

You're here, and I'm never alone
Believing that you are with me, and I am not alone

I waited for You today
But You didn't show, no, no, no
I needed You today
So, where did You go?
You told me to call, said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side so
I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here
And I'm never alone
I know I cannot see You
And I can't explain why (why)
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life
Whoa, we cannot separate 'cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible, I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side so
I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here
And I'm never alone
We cannot separate, You're part of me
And though You're invisible, I'll trust the unseen
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side so
I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here
And I'm never alone, no

I made some lyrics for my friends to sing along in Spanish: hopefully this is close in meaning to the original!
esperé por tú
Hoy
Pero no te has vengo , ¿Por qué?
Te necesitaba
Hoy
¿A dónde fuiste?
dijiste que llamara
Y, “Estoy aquí para ti”
Pero no te he visto,
“¿Estás allí?”
He te llamado no respuesta
No puedo sentirte
Me aferraré a lo que sé
Eres aquí y nunca estoy solo
Aunque no puedo verte
y no tengo un razón por qué
Un tranquilidad tan profunda
Has puestó en mi vida
Imposible a separarmos
Eres parte de mí
Anunque no seas visto
Confiaré Tús benedicciones
He te llamado no respuesta
No puedo sentirte
Me aferraré a lo que sé
Eres aquí y nunca estoy solo
Imposible a separarmos
Eres parte de mí
Anunque no seas visto
Confiaré Tús benedicciones
He te llamado no respuesta
No puedo sentirte
Me aferraré a lo que sé
Eres aquí y nunca estoy solo

It's 2022 and I still feels new.... I first wrote its lyrics when I was in high school, it helped me overcome my depression back then, a few days ago when I was going through my old diary, i saw it and I remembered the goodness of the Lord, he's the same yesterday today and forever 🥳🥳

This song came out the year I lost a boyfriend in a car wreck.I wasn't a Christian at the time so I just thought this was a song that related to how I felt when I was supposed to see him that night but obviously, he didn't make the date. 9 years later as a Christian I know this is totally about God always being there even when we can't see or feel him. Even in our darkest days, he is there.

I think you missed the point of what I said. It was how perspective changes after you become a Christian. I now turn to Jesus in hard times and he provides a lot more comfort than wishful thinking ever did. :)

+SawaneeKimbirli preach it sister. Some people just dont understand how becoming a christian changes people's perspectives. Things seem like a coincidence or accident or just bad luck without jesus but with him, we know that everything happens for a purpose. with jesus, everything suddenly seems to have a purpose or reason for happening. Also i am sorry for what happened to you but i am happy you came to jesus :)

+Joshua Fuhrman also if you havent already, try listening to jamie grace on you tube. She is such a beautiful singer and her songs are so joyful they make me want to jump up and sing and dance.

I miss this type of raw and very personal Christian music... the kind you'd have a personal conversation with your maker, not just superficial words.
