Alone
"Alone" is not exactly our response to the Columbine shootings, but was written around that time and definitely inspired by the incident. The song is talking about a young boy who is alone- no friends, no purpose, no joy. We all know people who feel alone, whether you're young or old, we run into them all the time, many times brushing past them without a second thought because they're not "cool" or you have put some label on them that gives you the "right" to not to have to talk with them. So many times, without even knowing it, we're caught in our cliques with OUR group, not caring about an "outsider." That's not the way it should be, it's not the way it has to be. Our encouragement with this song is that you step out and reach those who don't have anyone else. They need you, you need them. Drop the labels and love them.
