lyrics

ON YOUR OWN

It’s hard to be all alone.
It’s hard to be all alone.
Do what you want. Do as you please.
Do or don’t, stay or leave.
It’s hard to be all alone.

Are you made of wax or of stone?
Are you made of wax or of stone?
It’s hard to stand on your own two feet.
Not fall back to Mommy and Dad for relief.
Withstand the winds and champion the change.
Accept the different and welcome the strange.

It’s hard to stand on your own.
It’s hard to stand on your own.

To look around and truly see.
Recognize the powers that be
To lose the comfort and stand with the weak
Withstand the pressure and let it leak.

It’s hard to be all alone.
It’s hard to be all alone.
Do what you want. Do as you please.
Do or don’t, stay or leave.
Do what you want. Do as you please.
Do or don’t, stay or leave.
