Loner

As I lay here in my room
wondering what is wrong.
Waiting, wanting, and needing
to belong.
In my mind I have this picture
of who will set me free.
Is there anybody out there
looking just for me?
But sometimes I feel like a loner.
Drifting away on the wings of time.
With the wind in my hair.
Without a care I walk the line.
As I wonder through this world
trying to take a stand.
I want someone there who will
understand and take my hand.
I need someone to care
and try to be aware,
of the things that are inside of me
that makes me who I am.
Sometimes I feel like a loner.
Drifting away on the wings of time.
With the wind in my hair.
Without a care I walk the line.
I’m not a loner—now i know I’m not alone.
I’m not a loner—i am loved and i am known.
Jesus is with me, and the father holds me close,
so even in the quiet, I’ve got hope inside my soul.
I’m not a loner—now i know I’m not alone.

I know now… I’m never alone.
So, I whisper in the silence, “god, are you near?”
I’ve been strong for so long, but tonight I’m right here.
Jesus, if you’re listening, I need you to show
if there’s a place for my heart…
I don’t want to let go.
And in the quiet I can feel it—a peace I can’t explain,
like a light coming through me, like sunshine after rain.
A love that doesn’t leave me, a voice that calls my name:
“you are mine… you are loved…
and I’ll never go away.”
Now I see it so clearly
when I thought i was alone
God the father was beside me,
and Jesus always with me at home.
When my heart was saying nobody, 
heaven was drawing me near, telling me I am somebody!
and the arms that i needed
were already here, to hold me close and hold me dear.
I’m not a loner—now i know I’m not alone.
I’m not a loner—i am loved and i am known.
Jesus is with me, and the father holds me close,
so even in the quiet, I’ve got hope inside my soul.
I’m not a loner—now i know I’m not alone.
I know now… I’m never alone.
