Analysis of You Are Not Alone, Michael



I hear the songs that you sing
and I feel the tears that you've cried
I sense the depth of your soul
in every lullaby.
The strength of your voice
uplifted in song
gives me the strength and the wisdom
teaching me right from wrong.
Your honest beauty, the glisten in your eyes
calms the flutters in my heart
now, I can get by, too.
I know you must have an amazing heart of gold
so very much love you give...
...it awakens my sleepy soul.
But I know loneliness plagues the very depth of your being...
and as I listen to your songs, I think it bears repeating...
Michael, I love you...so very very much.
This I hope somehow you know...
...but to comfort that ache in your heart, let me tell you what you always tell me...

"......You Are Not Alone."
