Oh you're born alone and die the same
In between can take a while
Only one drop in the sea of time
Sometimes makes it hard to smile
If you find someone to share your life
Things are never quite the same
Years we have travelled seem like days gone past
And we've known so little pain
DADA
At this point in time I stand alone
To the phone I'm holding on
DADAZELA MAMA
DADA
Outside people stare as if to say
We know there's nobody home
Hold me when you're lonely
Hold me when you're lonely
When the papers read that all is lost
Only darkness lies ahead
I'll speak softly and soothe and chase the fear
And on me you rest your head
DADA
When the nights are hot with heavy air
Or it's freezing to the bone
DADAZELA MAMA
DADA
You may lie drunk in the city square
You may feel lost and forlorn
Hold me when you're lonely
Hold me when you're lonely
