Author's comment: This song is about being alone in the world, but having the strength of mind to convince yourself that you don't need anybody else, you can do anything on your own. The song is written as a person convincing themselves that they are better than the whole world, in fact, they ARE the world (i.e. the verses)
I am the light that shines on darkened land <br>I am the wind beneath the wings <br>Wherever you may look, alone I stand <br>And weather all that life can bring <br> <br><Chorus> <br>I've lost my faith in tomorrow <br>And the empty promises it makes <br>Alone I stand in confusion <br>Wondering just what it takes <br>To be bold! <br>To be strong! <br>To remember right from wrong! <br>Alone, I learn from my mistakes <br> <br>I am the ray that heats the mountains high <br>I am the raindrops on the sea <br>I break each rule of life, I can't deny <br>I have no fear to disagree <br> <br><Chorus> <br>I've lost my faith in tomorrow <br>And the empty promises it makes <br>Alone I stand in confusion <br>Wondering just what it takes <br>To be bold! <br>To be strong! <br>To remember right from wrong! <br>Alone, I learn from my mistakes <br> <br>I am the light, I am the wind <br>I am the ray, I am the land <br>I'm everywhere, I'm everything <br>You can't escape, alone I stand... <br> <br><Chorus> <br>I've lost my faith in tomorrow <br>And the empty promises it makes <br>Alone I stand in confusion <br>Wondering just what it takes <br>To be bold! <br>To be strong! <br>To remember right from wrong! <br>Alone, I learn from my mistakes
