Analysis of He Never left me
Alliluyeva Bergman 1967 (Chesterfield)
As I wonder about this unusual cruel and lonely world'
A very shyly scared little girl,
nowhere to hide,
Nowhere to bear,
Nowhere to find a person who cares,
So tried of crying out,
And saying my prayers,
Even whenever no parents are in sight,
Even through those tough colds and lonely nights,
Just as I was about to give up the fight,
Torn, tired, and worn out from the storms,
Then a voice cried out to me,
"I have been there in the beginning and the end".
"I've carried you throw your thick and thin"
"I've even been there as your friend"
"I've even been there wiping away your loneliness of tears and despair"
'I've even been the only one there to show you, and prove to you that I care"
"I've even wiped away and forgiven your sins"
" Don't think you didn't notice your footprints weren't there"
"Because it was I my child, the whole time that you were everywhere",
The last thing the voice said to me,
"I have never left you,
because it was you that left me there
