Intro
ARE YOU LONELY?
ARE YOU LONELY?

Verse 1
patterns developing, questions, questions
i've been along this road before
is it me or you seeking all the answers?
searching through the open door
in the distance there's a beckoning
along with relentless reckoning

Chorus 1
all is good, all is real
all is everything and the way we feel
all is all and nothing other
sister, brother, father, mother

Re Intro
ARE YOU LONELY?
ARE YOU LONELY?

Verse 2
why do you ask, do you think it's a mask
looking out from behind a veil
every day is a school day, always learning
to new horizons set the sails
knowledge increasing as ignorance decreasing
quest for more, let sense prevail

Chorus 2
all is good, all is real
all is everything and the way we feel
all is all and nothing other
sister, brother, father, mother

ARE YOU LONELY?
ARE YOU LONELY?
ARE YOU LONELY?

Pre Bridge
looking inside trying to make sense of it all
knowing the bubble will burst and then the tears they will freely fall

Bridge 1
up and down and round and round
this speeding roller coaster makes no sound
whether over rolling hills or underground...............ARE YOU LONELY?

Bridge 2
are you a machine, have you a beating heart?
when does your true emotion start?
try displaying love, we all know you're smart..........ARE YOU LONELY?

Bridge 3
meet these new horizons, take them in your stride
so everything you do is with a sense of pride
do you meet things head on or just run and hide....ARE YOU LONELY?

Bridge 4
negative meets positive but poles apart
logic and emotion surely play their part
where does your displaying of emotion start............ARE YOU LONELY?

ARE YOU LONELY?

Guitar Solo

Outro
amidst the sea of faces
ARE YOU LONELY?
expressing empty spaces
ARE YOU LONELY?

Comment:- This is a cracking rocker, the lyric that was born from the despair of death in the family
