You Alone

You alone must stand your ground
You take a life worth nothing and turn it around
You stand alone, yeah that's the deal
You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
Another rainy New England night
At your wits end with no hope in sight
You turn on Costello, it's welcome to the working week
You're broke and cornered, no one to call
On your shoulders the hardship falls
Yet something inside you stirs and you begin to smile
Faced with few options you look to yourself
And begin to decide that...
You alone must stand your ground
You take a life worth nothing and turn it around
You stand alone, yeah that's the deal
You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
The other side of the coin now hits
Optimism runs partner with it
The pendulum swings into your favor now
Cash in pocket, you earn your keep
With security you will sleep
Your mandate never quit sustaining you
Got more options, hit your stride and continue the fight
You alone must stand your ground
You take a life worth nothing and turn it around
You stand alone, yeah that's the deal
You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
You alone
You alone
I've seen many people get lost in the fight
You alone
Seen any others just get pushed right out of sight
You alone must stand your ground
You take a life worth nothing and turn it around
You stand alone, yeah that's the deal
You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
There were others who were not as fortunate as us
Taken without warning all over from life to dust
Hey Greg Riley
This song is yours
Never forget you
