This was created for the CBC Folk Challenge. I had fun making this and I was thinking of uploading a more polished version later, but all you wonderful friends in music out there, kept telling me that it was great as it is. So be it!
Story behind the song
Some people won't let anyone near them, maybe because they had a bad experience. They will not let anyone see, how they really are deep inside. I think that's too bad. Think about all the joy and pleasure you can get from interacting with other people. There is an element of risk involved, but in the end you will win more than you will lose.
Lyrics
Never be alone.
You pull the curtains and hide away
When someone tries to get close to you
You look sincere, but are you really there?
There must be more inside
Its so strange the way you move around
Acting up - pretending to have fun
What youre hiding must be really bad
But theres a way out of that
Just open up and let us know
And you will never be alone
Just open up, let it be said
Its something you will not regret
Trusting someone can go wrong
And the hurt can be hard to overcome
But dont reject all humanity
Because of one stupid fool
Just open up and let us know
And you will never be alone
Just open up let it be said
Its something you will not regret
Just speak your mind and show yourself
Well see how beautiful you are
Let down your guard, give it a try
The world is waiting there for you
It may sound as if I think Im better than you
Well thats me Im contemplating everything
I dont see a lot of choices, only despair
Its too bad the way you keep putting yourself down.
Can you feel the spark inside?
There's no need for you to hide.
We'll wait for you.
We'll pull you through.
