Lyrics to Where No One Stands Alone

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low,
In the darkness as black as could be.
And my heart felt alone
and I cried, oh Lord,
Don't hide your face from me.

Chorus:
Hold my hand all the way,
every hour every day,
From here to the great unknown.
Take my hand, let me stand,
Where no one stands alone.

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall,
With great riches to call my own;
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone.

Music and Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong,
Frank E Wright, III, and Michael Pritchard.
