[Chorus]

You alone must stand your ground
You take a life worth nothing and turn it around
You stand alone, yeah that's the deal
You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares

Another rainy New England night
At your wit's end with no hope in sight
You turn on Costello it's welcome to the working week
You're broke and cornered no one to call
On your shoulders the hardship falls
Yet something inside you stirs and you begin to smile

Faced with few options you look to yourself
And begin to decide that

[Chorus]

Now the other side of the coin now hits
Optimism runs partner with it
The pendulum swings into your favor now
Cash in pocket you earn your keep
With security you now sleep
Your mandate never quit sustaining you

Got more options hit your stride and continue the fight

[Chorus]

You alone
You alone
I've seen many people get lost in the fight
You alone
Seen any others just get pushed right out of sight

[Chorus]

There were others who were not as fortunate as us
Taken without warning all over from life to dust

Hey Greg Riley
This song is yours
Never forget you
