An exclusive demo by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco
Written for legendary singer Mavis Staples

You’re not alone

I’m with you

I’m lonely too

What sad song

Can’t be sung

By two

A Broken home

A Broken heart

Isolated and afraid

Open up this is a raid

I want to 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

Gonna 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 want to get it through to you

You’re not alone

I want to get it through to you

You’re not alone

Gonna get it through to you

You’re not alone
