Analysis of I AM NEVER ALONE
ABU ZULUF 1953 (london)
I AM NEVER ALONE
My cry is loud and clear
But yet it is silent
My tears are there
But yet can't be seen
My face is smiling
But yet it is a cry
My heart is beating
But yet I can not feel it
I walk alone
But yet I am not
I see footprints behind me
But when I look back they are gone
But I know she will always be at my side
for i will never be alone.
