You are not alone
michael.jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone

Alone, alone
Why, alone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
And I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And I and girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone (you are not alone)
For I am here with you (I am here with you)
Though you're far away (though you're far away)
(You and me) I am here to stay

For you are not alone (you are always in my heart)
For I am here with you though we're far apart
You're always in my heart





For you are not alone not alone, oh

Overall Meaning

The song You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson is a beautiful portrayal of the artist's love for someone who has left him, but he ensures the person that even though they are far apart, he'll always be with them, and they're not alone. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, pain, and love, and the music score complements the emotions perfectly.


The lyric describes the emotions Michael feels, and it's quite clear he's missing someone who was a significant part of his life. He questions the reason why they left and why he was never given a proper goodbye. While he's reminiscing, he hears a voice that assures him that he's not alone, and the love he shares with the person who left him is still there.


The song suggests that love isn't confined only to the physical presence of a person, and true love remains even when the person has left. Michael is willing to do anything to make the person happy, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness. The lyrics, accompanied by the soft and smooth melody, create a melancholic yet beautiful image of love that surpasses distance and time.
