You're Not Alone Lyrics

Some days I barely hold on
When life drags me down
I wanna let go
But when my spirit is weak
You come to my aid
And strengthen my soul

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
I’m lost without You
I’ll never doubt You
Your grace is beyond compare
And though when it rains, it pours
You know all I have is Yours
You smile when You hear my prayer

[Chorus: Adam Young]
You rescued me, and I believe
That God is love, and He is all I need
From this day forth, for all eternity
I’ll never wander on my own
For I am Yours until You call me home
I close my eyes, and I can hear You say
“You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh
“You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh

[Verse 2: Britt Nicole]
Some days I just can’t go on
I stumble and fall
And I hang my head
But you reach out for my hand
And you lift me up
Again and again
Oh, yes you do

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m lost without you
I’ll never doubt you
Your grace is beyond compare
And though when it rains, it pours
You know all I have is yours
You smile when you hear my prayer

[Chorus]
You rescued me, and I believe
That God is love, and he is all I need
From this day forth, for all eternity
I’ll never wander on my own
For I am yours until you call me home
I close my eyes, and I can hear you say
"You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh
"You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh

[Bridge: Adam Young & Britt Nicole]
In the face of my depravity
For God so loved the world, He died for me, yeah
My fire burns, ‘till he returns
And takes me home beyond the galaxy

[Chorus]
You rescued me, and I believe
That God is love, and he is all I need
From this day forth, for all eternity
I’ll never wander on my own
For I am Yours until you call me home
I close my eyes, and I can hear You say
"You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh
"You’re not alone”, oh oh-oh

[Outro]
You’re not, you’re not alone
Never alone …

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.

The Experience: Owl City brings a song you'd think would be a love song, with lines like "I'm lost without you, I'll never doubt you..." Then he spins it around. It's not his girl who gives him strength, it's God who's promising Adam "You're not alone." You're never alone. He is there.

So, as I know you've already heard, Owl City will be releasing 2 NEW TRACKS next week, on October 7th. One of them is one that many of you have heard already - the much anticipated and much leaked You're Not Alone featuring Britt Nicole, and the other one is brand-new - a track titled "Tokyo" featuring some "new friends" called SEKAI NO OWARI. For all the new info, refer to Adam's announcement video, which can be viewed by clicking on this link right here. I am so incredibly excited for next week! (Not only because of the new tracks, but also because I'm going to TWO CONCERTS that same weekend. U jelly, bro?) One last thing I wanna bring up before I go, though: I posted about this on Tumblr earlier, but I wanted to share it with you too, in case you don't follow my Tumblr (but you should). Today is September 29th, and coincidentally, my first Owl City concert was 2 years ago today. Pretty funny.

NEW MUSIC SOON!!!
