Mavis Staples - You Are Not Alone Lyrics






You're not alone
I'm with you, I'm lonely too
What's that song
Can't be sung by two?

A broken home, a broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone

You're not alone, every night
I stand in your place
Every tear on every face
Tastes the same

A broken dream, a broken heart
Isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone

An open hand, an open heart
There's no need to be afraid
Open up this is a raid
I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone

I wanna get it through to you
You're not alone
I'm gonna get it through to you
You're not alone

    I picked this tune up off of the new Netflix TV series IN THE DARK (which is excellent by the way and also has great music in the background). This show also turned me on to the great song by the band THE NATIONALS titled "Lucky You". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lGITzAVfsY&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0BFSsYsrgBE0Mlas_be8dwqNX_b1ousWhS4flh54g0pdUNU249s8FLIV0

    My favourite of her songs, although "A House Is Not a Home" is pretty good too.

  25. T.... L....

    Gorgeous.  Had never heard it either.  What a great song!

  26. B.... A....

    I can't believe that this is the first time i'm hearing this. One more of the very many reasons to look forward to the next day.

    B.... A....

    @Bill Adams Yes, I agree...me too!

    B.... A....

    Yes definitely

  27. J.... R....

    Obsessed with Mavis and this song....Your not alone

  30. E.... M....

    Thank you for posting this song.

  31. G.... S....

    This song is an instant, timeless, classic.  It is every songwriter's dream to pen something with such power as this.  This version is stunning, Mavis Staples puts the song in her soul and sings it out to the world.

  32. M.... L....

    Stirs my soul... makes me almost want to weep with a painful sort of joy!

  33. r.... p....

    Bravo!

  34. N.... C....

    Danielle Colby Cushman, American Pickers brought me here lol

  35. M.... R....

    voz linda

  36. a.... ....

    Me too.

  37. M.... F....

    I'll be honest, not a big Wilco fan. But these last 2 Mavis records absolutely incredible. She personifies gospel/soul/truth. What a wonderful woman. and thumbs up to Mr Tweedy for songwriting and producing such great stuff!

  38. M.... A....

    Hell yes Steven Colbert brought me here! Only an ass would deny such beautiful music the credit it deserves simply because of the method in which you learned of it's existence. Love life, love music

  39. p.... m....

    i am watching that very show right now, this song is what brought me here. an app i have for my phone called SHAZAM, cant recognize live music, so i looked up the vdeo and read your comment...very cool song

  40. A.... ....

    /b/ sent me here

  41. S.... L....

    Thank you. Wonderful song from a wonderful Lady.

  42. M.... D....

    Damn! Finally! I got so addicted on this song that out of 1000 songs on my MP3 Player, I can't only listen to this! damn freaking great - each word and tune!

  43. A.... R....

    very awesome...

  44. E.... M....

    Me too, CSI Miami

  45. J.... K....

    She is taping an Austin City Limits Performance with Bonnie Raitt this coming Wednesday. Should be one of the shows of a lifetime.

  46. J.... J....

    Oh! =O I'll be watching the dates then. Thanks! ^.^

  47. l.... ....

    @darkangel3536 Her U.S. tour starts soon. Maybe she is comin to you. :-)

  48. J.... J....

    @lesbonees Haha! Wish I could see her again. :)

  49. l.... ....

    @darkangel3536 She was at Mountain Jam festival recently and I saw her there. She said something I will never forget. But it wasn't what she said, it was how she said it.....bare with me: She was trying to inform the crowd that the Staple Singers have been making music for a LONG time. And she said: "Now, we've been at this thang for SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXTY YEARS! (Pause)....................6............ZERO!!!!" HUGE emphasis on "zero." I'll never forget it. So funny and cool.

  50. K.... R....

    Love the song it is a wonderful song to listen to and think about someone you really care about to tell them these words.......thanks Mavis!

  51. m.... ....

    Awesome! Straight to my favorites!

  52. J.... J....

    @darkangel3536 Not just because she writes about the Civil Rights Movement! She has an amazing voice so don't get me wrong please. I like everything about this woman. ^.^ From her raspy beautiful gospel voice to her adorable shortness.

  53. J.... J....

    I'm fifteen and never heard of this talented woman until I went to her concert in Kansas City last week. Fell in love with her immediately, honestly, I was so transfixed by her because she writes about the Civil Rights Movement which is amazing and you know, she's in her seventies so she's seen a lot. It just really touched me, like I got connected to her music. Maybe it's because I'm African American or maybe it's because she's just truly outstanding. Either way, I love you Mavis Staples. =)

  54. J.... ....

    I heard this song at the end of a CSI Miami season 9 episode. It took some listening to the lyrics, & doing some Google & YouTube songs, but found it! And wow, I love the song!!! Thanks to who posted it, the message and song have a lot of positive meaning amidst this crazy world.
