Story Behind The Song
My sister wrote this song several years ago when I was going through similar feelings myself though I believe I was too young to realise it. When making my CD I just knew this song had to be on it: it expresses perfectly my emotions and beliefs better tha
Song Description
This is a song about a little boy who is despairing. It is very brave to take on such a theme but my sister did it full justice with this deeply moving song in which we take the journey with the child to discover that 'You're not alone'...

Lyrics
The sky was blue and the air was warm
When he found himself out in the cold
And what he longed for most just then
Could not be bought for gold
And he was crying
He knew he couldn?t win
And he was trying
To keep it all in
?Cos
Chorus
When your heart is breaking
When your heart is breaking
You?re on your own
You?re on your own.
He waited a while ?til he?d gained control
Then he got up and walked away
There was nothing more to do and there
Was nothing more to say
And he was lonely
Up against a wall
And he was only
A child after all.

Chorus
Too many find this road that leads to desolation
And crushed beneath the load they end in desperation
And hearts that might be gold
Grow grey as they unfold
We walk in withered flowers
In this world of ours.
Broken innocence of a little boy
He thought it was the end
And because he couldn?t see for tears
He thought he had no friend
But he was growing and ever up he crept
And he was going to learn how to accept
That
Chorus
Little children everywhere, beseechingly they pray
And does God hear each prayer, however far away?
So a little child will find
That he?s left the death behind
We walk in heavenly showers
In this world of ours
He?s shining on you and me
If we had eyes to see
That
When your heart is breaking
When your heart is breaking
You?re not alone
You?re not alone
When your heart is breaking
When your heart is breaking
You?re not alone
You?re not alone
You?re not alone (x6)
When your heart is breaking
When your heart is breaking
You?re not alone
You?re not alone
