Alone
Lisa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness
As black as could be
And my heart felt alone
And I cried, oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way
Every hour, every day
Come here to the great unknown

Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Like a king I may live
In a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone

Hold my hand all the way
Every hour, every day
Come here to the great unknown

Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Take my hand




Let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Overall Meaning

Lisa Lisa's song "Stand" is a soulful ballad about loneliness and the need for companionship. The song begins with the singer standing alone in the dark with a heavy heart, pleading to the Lord to not hide his face from her. This implies a sense of disconnection from either people or God, or both. The singer longs for someone to hold her hand and be with her every step of the way, be it in good times or bad. The desire for companionship is so strong that she'd rather be in a humble and simple place where no one stands alone, than in a palace with all its riches and splendor, where she'd feel lonely.


Through this song, Lisa Lisa does an excellent job of conveying the feeling of being alone and at the same time trying to find a place where one can belong. It is evident that the idea of standing alone is deeply unsettling for the singer, and her desire for someone to come and be with her in the darkness is very palpable. The song encourages listeners to appreciate and cherish the people they have in their lives, as well as to reach out to those that may be struggling with loneliness.

Once I stood in the night
At one point in my life, I found myself in a dark and lonely place


With my head bowed low
I was feeling defeated and without hope


In the darkness
There wasn't a glimmer of light that could provide a sense of direction


As black as could be
It was a depth of darkness that felt inescapable


And my heart felt alone
I was experiencing a deep sense of loneliness and sadness in my heart


And I cried, oh Lord
My sadness was so great that it moved me to cry out to God


Don't hide your face from me
I felt as though God had abandoned me and I was asking for His presence

Like a king I may live
Even if I have all the wealth and status of a king


In a palace so tall
Living in a grand, luxurious space


With great riches to call my own
Having all the material possessions that one could want


But I don't know a thing
I realize that none of these things mean anything if you're alone and you've lost what truly matters in life


In this whole wide world
There is nothing outside of a true connection with others that can bring deep satisfaction


That's worse than being alone
Loneliness trumps every other negative experience


Take my hand
I'm reiterating my desire to have God as my guide


Let me stand
I'm willing to stand boldly with God's help


Where no one stands alone
I believe having a genuine relationship with God means that you'll never truly be alone
