When you're standing on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's gotta go there
Through the darkest nights
See the lights shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war
They live forever

Chorus:
This is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battled scared
I'll be by your side
This is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer
'Cause someone's there for you

Well love don't need a reason
She can pick you up or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive
We all forget
And just keep believing

Chorus.

(Don't give up)
So let it find you
(Just hold on)
Wherever you may go
(Hear me now)
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more
Oh, no

'Cause this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight
For the broken hearted, battle scared
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer
'Cause there's someone there for you

It's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be alright...

(This is a song for the lonely)
Song for the lonely
(Can you hear me tonight?)
And that's not you only
('Cause this a song for the lonely)
Through the darkest nights
(Can you hear me tonight?)
You're gonna see the lights
(This is a song for the lonely)
Love don't need a reason
(When your dreams won't come true)
Just to leave you believing
Can you hear this prayer
'Cause there's someone there
Can you hear this prayer
'Cause someone's there
'Cause this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scared
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true...
