Learn to be lonely

Minnie Driver


Child of the wilderness 
Born into emptiness 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn to find your way in darkness 
Who will be there for you, 
comfort and care for you? 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn to be your one companion 
Never dreamed out in the world 
There are arms to hold you 
You've always known 
Your heart was on its own 
So laugh in your loneliness 
Child of the wilderness 
Learn to be lonely 
Learn how to love life that is lived alone 
Learn to be lonely 
life can be lived 
life can be loved 
Alone.
