I Walk Alone (*) - Sophie B. Hawkins

I wanted to be loved

I wanted to be known

I wanted to be held

I wanted to be thrown

Into this world

I wanted to be your little girl

I wanted to be shy

I wanted to be dumb

I wanted to be blind

I wanted to be young

As a child

I wanted to feel myself

Worthwhile

You shot like star dust through me

And I wanted you to be

All that I would ever need

And my trial Is leaving now while I’m still strong

I wanted you to be the one

Though you knew it all along

I walk alone

God speed your love

God take me home

I walk alone

God be my judge

God still my soul

I tried to be your wife

I tried to be your friend

I tried to take my life

I tried to understand

How I failed In your eyes I can’t prevail

There’s nothing more that I can do

But carry on without you

Finding love in spite of truth

And I sail the seas of destiny’s song

In my heart I may hold on

But you’ll reach and I’ll be gone

I walk alone

God speed your love

God take me home

I walk alone

God be my judge

God still my soul

I walk alone

In God I trust

Where I belong

I walk alone

In God I must

Proclaim my own
