Not alone, we stand together,
for alone one could not stand.
Not alone, we stand together,
soul to soul and hand in hand.
Not alone, we stand together,
aching hearts, but spirits strong.
Watching, waiting, working,
when others turn away;
seeing, hearing, feeling,
what others would avoid.
Not alone, we stand together,
wounded,
surely wounded,
sorely wounded,
wounded all, yet still we stand.
Not alone, we stand together,
laughing, weeping,
bound by hope
and filled with love.
Not alone we stand together,
for alone we could not stand.
