You Are Never Alone Lyrics

it's okay, you can take a condom
it's okay, you can take a valtrex
and it's okay, you can get an abortion
and then keep on keepin' on
and then keep on keepin' on

it's okay, you can take a prilosec
and it's okay, you can take biaxin
it's okay, you can get a quadruple bypass
and then keep on keepin' on
and then keep on keepin' on

you are never alone
you are never alone
you are never alone
you are

it's okay in moderation
it's okay cuttin' down
it's okay, you can quit tomorrow
but for now, keep on keepin' on
but for now, keep on keepin' on

it's okay, you can take the bible
and it's okay, you can be saved
and it's okay, you can be forgiven
and for now, keep on keepin' on
for now, keep on keepin' on

you are never alone
you are never alone
you are never alone
you are

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I just found this guy today. I'm no expert. He had a strong cult following. I like his work and this song. I think he's being sarcastic when he says you are never alone. He's talking about us lucky folks who can afford the ordinary miracles of medicine that get so many out of trouble. The people he probably envied. He died because he couldn't get insurance because of his condition, which was partial paralysis and complications. He probably felt very alone. He had lots of friends and fans but not enough money for his astronomical medical bills.
