I Walk Alone by Sophie B Hawkins

i wanted to be loved
i wanted to be known
i wanted to be held
i wanted to be thrown
into this world
i wanted to be your little girl
i wanted to be shy
i wanted to be dumb
i wanted to be blind
i wanted to be young
as a child
i wanted to feel myself
worthwhile
you shot like star dust through me
and i wanted you to be
all that i would ever need
and my trial is leaving now while i’m still strong
i wanted you to be the one
though you knew it all along

i walk alone
god speed your love
god take me home
i walk alone
god be my judge
god still my soul

i tried to be your wife
i tried to be your friend
i tried to take my life
i tried to understand
how i failed in your eyes i can’t prevail
there’s nothing more that i can do
but carry on without you
finding love in spite of truth
and i sail the seas of destiny’s song
in my heart i may hold on
but you’ll reach and i’ll be gone

i walk alone
god speed your love
god take me home
i walk alone
god be my judge
god still my soul

i walk alone
in god i trust
where i belong
i walk alone
in god i must
proclaim my own
