New London Chorale This World
Stars in the evening, clear moon is rising.
Nighttime is falling, peace ev'rywhere.
While we are sleeping, save and securely,
there in the distance, fire fills the sky.
This world is your world,
this world is my world,
no one should ever stand all alone.
There in the darkness, someone is crying.
Someone is crying so far away.
No one can see him, no one goes to him.
Who knows the reason, no one can say.
This world is your world,
this world is my world.
No one should ever stand all alone.
See how the rain falls gently around us,
ever returning down to the sea.
See how the stream runs into the ocean,
see how the world turns ever around.
This world is your world,
this world is my world,
no men should ever stand all alone.
Never alone.
