All Alone is a deeply poignant and heartfelt ballad by Steff Barnes, capturing the weight of solitude and the longing for love. The song weaves an emotional narrative of waiting, hoping, and questioning fate, as the protagonist walks a lonely road, yearning for connection.

With poetic imagery like “The stars above, they keep their glow / But my heart’s a river, longing to flow,” the lyrics beautifully contrast the unchanging constancy of the world with the restless desire for love. The chorus, “How long must I wait for love to come / For a hand to hold, for someone,” serves as both a plea and a declaration of endurance, echoing the universal feeling of longing for companionship.

As the song progresses, themes of patience and self-reflection emerge. Lines like “Every tear, every prayer / I’m sending them out into the air” express a quiet hopefulness, a belief that love will arrive in its own time. The closing verse, “Till the day you’re standing near / I’ll keep waiting year by year,” leaves listeners with a sense of bittersweet resilience—the willingness to hold onto hope, even when love feels distant.

With its haunting melody and soul-stirring lyrics, All Alone is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt the ache of loneliness, yet still holds onto the dream of finding love.

Lyrics

I’ve been walking this road all alone
Through the silence, through the unknown
Every step feels heavier with time
Waiting for love, for a sign

The stars above, they keep their glow
But my heart’s a river, longing to flow

How long must I wait for love to come
For a hand to hold, for someone
I’ve been patient, I’ve been strong
But how long, oh, how long

I see faces passing by every day
But none of them stop or stay
Is it me, or is it fate
I’m just standing at this gate

The moonlight whispers secrets to the sea
But it won’t reveal what’s meant for me

How long must I wait for love to come
For a hand to hold, for someone
I’ve been patient, I’ve been strong
But how long, oh, how long

Every tear, every prayer
I’m sending them out into the air
Will you find me? Will you see
That I’m ready for love to set me free

How long must I wait for love to come
For a hand to hold, for someone
I’ve been patient, I’ve been strong
But how long, oh, how long

Till the day you’re standing near
I’ll keep waiting year by year
But my heart’s song will still belong
To the hope that love won’t take too long
