Song Meaning

Tori Kelly and Kirk Franklin's “Never Alone” starts with a wanderer. “In my time I've travelled some roads, a rolling stone, nowhere feels like home.” Kelly sings about seeing people come and go, and asks, “Do you believe in miracles?” The verse then admits to hurt, with “I've cried many rivers” and “I've seen my world crumble and I've carried the shame.”

The chorus gives the answer: “I know somebody, he calls me his own, I can hear heaven singing out, you're never alone.” The second verse is about what people chase, where “everybody wants to be king” and trusts in “material things.” Kelly says she sometimes feels she is not good enough, but “that's when love says you're mine.” She decides her imperfections “were a part of your plan.” Franklin adds a spoken line, “There's not a hole too deep where God's love is not deeper still, you've come too far to give up now.”

All things working together is Romans 8:28. God never leaving is Deuteronomy 31:6, and his presence in every depth is Psalm 139:8.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

In my time I've travelled some roads

A rolling stone

Nowhere feels like home

And I've seen people come, then they go

Life is just a story of some highs and some lows

Tell me do you believe in miracles?

I'm standing here before your eyes


I've cried many rivers

I've walked through some pain

I've seen my world crumble

And I've carried the shame

But I know somebody, he calls me his own

I can hear heaven singing out

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone


Everybody wants to be king

We put all our hope inside material things

In your light I now understand

That everything I have and everything that I am

Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough

But that's when love says you're mine


I've cried many rivers

I've walked through some pain

I've seen my world crumble

And I've carried the shame

But I know somebody, he calls me his own

I can hear heaven singing out

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone


I may have took some time

But now I realise

My imperfections were a part of your plan

And if all things work together in the end

The broken world'll be beautiful


[Kirk Franklin:]

There's not a hole too deep

Where God's love is not deeper still

You've come too far to give up now

Let's go!


[Tori Kelly & Choir:]

I've cried many rivers

I've walked through some pain

I've seen my world crumble

And I've carried the shame

But I know somebody, he calls me his own

I can hear heaven singing out

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone

Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone
