All alone I didn't like the feeling 
All alone I sat and cried 
All alone I had to find some meaning 
In the center of the pain I felt inside 

/ G D A D / G D A Asus4 A / G D A Bm / 1st / 

All alone I came into this world 
All alone I will someday die 
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby 
Sand and water, and a million years gone by 

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns 
I will hear you in the sound of the waves 
I will know you when I come, as we all will come 
Through the doors beyond the grave 

/ A - G D / / A F# Bm E / Em D A - / 

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow 
All alone I raise this child 
Flesh and bone, he's just bursting towards tomorrow 
And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile 

{Refrain} 

All alone I came into this world 
All alone I will someday die 
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby 
Sand and water and a million years gone by 


Alternate verse: 
Beth wrote this replacement third verse for Elton John- 

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow 
I can only live this day 
Flesh and bone my life's bursting toward tomorrow 
And the love you send my heart still finds it's way
