She stands alone, at kitchen sink,
Dishes washed, wine almost empty.
There’s nothing left to do but think,
Since he went away.
For the life of her, she can’t decide,
What it was that she did wrong.
She just contemplates her life,
While listening to the night’s sad song.

It sings to her in a voice that calls from heaven,

This is a song for the lonely,
A hymn for those left behind,
To all those people who cry at night,
All you need to heal is time.

He’s in the car, not goin’ any where,
Curled up with a blanket in the back seat,
His parents didn’t want him in their house,
After he got the courage to speak.
And the for the life of him, he won’t realize,
That it’s not that he.. Is gay,
But his parent’s ignorance is why,
They pushed him away.

He hears a voice, like a angel,
And it sings unto him:

This is a song for the lonely,
A hymn for those left behind,
To all those people who cry at night,
All you need to heal is time.

She was a younger woman than his wife,
He had a roaming eye,
They believed God looked on their son with hate,
They thought they’d rather die.

There was a song from the heavens,
Telling them to hold on tight,
It was a song for the lonely,
For those who cry at night.

This is a song for the lonely,
A hymn for those left behind,
To all those people who cry at night,
All you need to heal is time.
This is a song for the broken hearted,
Those who a friend,
This a song for you,
To show someone cares,
To tell you you’ll be fine in the end.

This is a song for the lonely,
A hymn for those left behind,
To all those people who cry at night,
All you need to heal is time.
