If it's Alive, it Will

My friend, you are unique but not always
 Some stranger you don't know has surely felt your pain
 Some stranger out there might even own your name
 And say all the things that you've said
 Your thoughts existing in someone else's head
 
 It's true, you are one of my favorite books to read
 I have to thank you now, you've changed the way I think
 And with each page I turn, there you are
 And with each word I read rings true in my heart
 While I was waiting, I found something I was missing
 Might not have been a man but why waste good will love on wishing?
 Please don't confuse me with your devastating stare-downs
 I'll hold your mirror, all you have to do is turn around
 So you can see the face you make when you are giving out your soul
 Are you the only one who doesn't already know?
 I used to think I was the only one
 I used to think I was the only one
 I used to think I was the only one
 But I've learned quite a few things since then
 I've learned that no one ever really is the only one
 My friend, if it's alive, it will do anything
 And if it's strong, aware, believe it will go there
 And if it's full of love, know it is capable of
 Emptying itself out at any point at all
 Just know the height you reach is the distance you could fall
 Now your own heart was the one that's worth most of your time
 Know your own heart well and be surprised at what you find
 My friend, you are unique but not always
 Some stranger out there has surely felt your pain
 Some stranger you don't know might even own your name
 Has said all the things that you've said
 Thoughts existing in someone else's head
 I used to think I was the only one
 I used to think I was the only one
 I used to think I was the only one
 But I've learned quite a few things since then
 I've learned that no one ever really is the only one
