You're the one Left standing on your own Watching the world go by And you're the one Left standing with your pain Up on a movie screen And you're the one Who's got to be so strong 'Cause people need you now You're the one Left standing on your own You want to grieve alone But I'm the one who's got to face the world I've gotta paint my brave face on People need to know that life goes on Even after death has come And you're the one left standing on your own At first we grieve For this departed soul Never to return And then we grieve For those that they had known And those they call their own And last we grieve For our humanity For we know our destiny And you're the one Left here to decide What is on the other side Turn the light on
