Lonely as You Are
[Verse 1]
You think you’ve been lonely, but loneliness is mine
As lonely as you are, it ain’t bad as mine
You think you’ve been suffering, but suffering is mine
As lonely as you are, it ain’t bad as mine

[Chorus]
So lonely
Lonely as hell

[Verse 2]
Lucifer coming to me trying to make me turn myself loose
But I tell you, God, you’re my heart and soul
No one can chain me
If it call for me to die

[Chorus]
I’m so lonely
Lonely as hell

[Verse 1]
You think that you’re lonely, but loneliness is mine
As lonely as you are, it ain't bad as mine
You think you’ve been suffering, but suffering is mine
As lonely as you are, it ain't bad as mine
[Chorus]
So lonely
Lonely as hell

[Spoken Word]
You think you don’t know me, loneliness, but I know you well
Mamma, wherever you at in heaven
Please, hold a space for me
I’m walking this planet, Mamma, like you taught me to do
I’m walking
Trying to find you, Mamma
One day, when God says: "Well done"
Please, be at the gate waiting for me
With your Momma, Grandma, Rowena Green, J.W. Welch and so many more
I love you, and this is from Charles Bradley
Hope this, one day, gets out to the world
