[Verse 1]
  It hurts to find that you failed the test,
  knowing that you gave your best.
  As your friend I'll never let you down,
I know you didn't mean to leave me.
 
[Chorus]
On my own   alone tonight,
I'm going to gather my strength, going to find the power
then you know I'm going to make it right.
On my own   alone tonight, I'll find that inner light,
I can be strong alone on my own.
 
[Verse 2]
  It's after dark you fear the most
  to face alone your private ghosts.
  As your friend I'll never let you down,
I know you didn't mean to leave me.
 
[End-Chorus]
On my own   alone tonight,
I'm going to gather my strength, going to find the power
then you know I'm going to make it right.
On my own   alone tonight, I'll find that inner light,
I can be strong alone on my own.
