"No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods
Poignant and profound, this song speaks to the shared human experience of facing life's challenges, with the powerful message that we are all connected and support one another.
While the original context is about difficult choices and consequences, the core message is deeply comforting for a child. It reinforces that even when they feel scared or lonely, their family is with them. It’s a lullaby about unity and shared strength, a promise that a parent's love will always be a guiding force.
No one here to guide you,
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still you’re not alone
No one is alone, truly
No one is alone
Sometimes people leave you
Half-way through the wood
Others may decieve you
You decide what’s good
You decide alone
But no one is alone
People make mistakes
Fathers, Mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide whats right
You decide whats good
Just remember
Someone is on your side
Someone else is not
While you’re seeing your side
Maybe you forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone
Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will come out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side
No one is alone
