(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
And there was a time I was one of a kind
Lost in the world, out of me, myself and I
Was lonely then
Like an alien
I tried but I never figured it out
Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd
Oh, that was then
Like an alien
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes
Lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Crossed through the universe to get where you are
Travel the night, riding on a shooting star
Was lonely then
Like an alien
Had to get used to the world I was on
While yet still unsure if I knew where I belong
Oh, that was then
Like an alien
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes
Lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone (alien)
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
But the stars in the sky
Look like home, take me home
And the light in your eyes
Lets me know I'm not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone (alien)
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
Not alone, not alone, not alone
