we are alright

there is a reason i stay up at night
long past the time the world's asleep
beyond the suffering i feel
and promises i meant to keep
the memories still call to me
from deeper than the words can say
but simpler still is why i'm here
the reason i hear music play

cuz i feel lonely as the night moves on
wanting to share more when everyone is gone
watching imaginary friends on tv
pretending somehow they are family

cuz i am lonely as the night gets dark
wanting to love someone is not just a lark
it may be nothing more than a dream in the end
a shared illusion with an honest friend

but if you only dream your dreams in bed asleep
they may survive
but they cannot come alive

so here's the reason i fight sleep at night
sleep does not help me wake up any less alone
the world is in agony so full of cruelty
insensitivity is not a way i want to call my own

so i feel lonely as the night comes down
wanting to help someone know we are alright
humanity just needs to stop being so afraid
so we can keep the best promises we've made

when i am lonely as the night moves on
hope is the one thing that is never gone
it may be nothing more than a dream in the end
a shared illusion with an honest friend

but if you only dream your dreams in bed asleep
they may survive
but they cannot come alive

see with your eyes
hold someone's hand
share honest love
show you understand
we're all the same
deep in the night
looking for love
and a light
that tells us
we are alright
we are alright
we are alright

we are alright

proof? (you find what you are looking for)

are you looking for proof
that nobody cares
because nobody has
up 'till now?

are you looking for proof
that nobody dares
overcome the fear
to learn how?

to love and to trust
unconditionally
to be innocent
honestly

are you looking for proof
that nobody cares
because you are afraid
nobody does?

are you looking for proof
that nobody cares
because you are afraid
to just pause

to love and to trust
unconditionally
to be innocent
honestly


are you so afraid
to believe someone could
that you look for proof
no one cares?

are you just too tired
to go on believing
someone can be
without being deceiving?

are you looking for proof
that nobody cares
or are you looking
for something more?

it's important to ask
it's important to know
cuz you find what you are looking for

you find what you are looking for

you find what you are looking for
