Dan Holder wrote this song April 11, 1978, shortly after the breakup of the band "Tranquility" following their European tour. Feeling alone and discouraged, Dan found comfort in his relationship with Christ, and was able to continue the band's ministry as a solo artist. This song became Dan's anthem of healing from that experience, leading him to make it the title song of this album.

Originally recorded in 1979, the tracks have been converted to digital then remixed and mastered. While other Christian artists have recorded instrumental and vocal versions of this song, this is the arrangement Dan initially intended, and most closely matches the way he performed it in concert.

NEVERMORE ALONE

Sometimes when your only friends are butterflies
Sometimes when your only light is the sun
And you reach your hand out to touch someone
But they walk away, and you’re all alone

Sometimes when your world is spinning backwards
And clouds are rushing in instead of sky
And you need to find someone to laugh with
But there’s no one, and so you cry

Look up, look to the sky
Jesus will always be a Friend to you
No more, nevermore alone
Jesus will always be a Friend to you.

So there’s no reason now for being alone
You’ve got the best Friend one could ever know
He’s true and loving, gentle and caring
Wonderful Lord of Lords, So…

Look up, look to the sky
Jesus will always be a Friend to you
No more, nevermore alone
Jesus will always be a Friend to you. And...
No more, nevermore alone
Jesus will always be a Friend… to… you.
