I Don't Know Anyone/There Is A Light

I Don’t Know Anyone/There Is A Light

I don’t know anyone, she whispered quietly.
Nobody knows me at all.
Nobody talks to me. Nobody plays with me.
Nobody comes when I call.
Something is wrong with me, something they see in me.
Wish I could see it myself.

I would change gladly, if someone would tell me.
But what can I do without someone to help?
I don’t know anyone, she whispered quietly.
Nobody mentions my name.
I can imagine that someone might like me,
If something about me could change:
If I were beautiful. If I were popular.
If I had something to give.
If I was somebody then maybe someone
Would treat me like someone they’d like to be with.

I don’t know anyone, she whispered silently,
Knowing that no one could hear.
If I spoke loud enough, someone might hear me.
And that’s the one thing that I fear.
Then I’d be asking. And if I was asking,
You could feel free to say no.
As long as I’m silent, I might be lonely,
But there’s still a chance that I won’t be alone.

REFRAIN:
There is a light in the weakest of hearts.
And it burns like a fire in the depth of the dark.
So let your light so shine till the day comes
When the darkness is over and we walk
By the light of the son.

(REPEAT REFRAIN)

DESCANT:
I don’t know anyone, she whispered quietly.
Hearts are so easy to hide.
Someone might need me, someonw who’s lonely.
Lord, give me the courage to let them inside.
