Every aspect of “Not Alone” walks the listener to the same conclusion – Trenton wasn’t prepared to step back from a full commitment to the song or its message. “Not Alone” is equally powerful from the start, when purposeful piano provides minimalist support, to the final verse, when the texturing becomes lush and the backing vocals switch roles with the lead.
The lyrics are included in this post. Certainly, the message is to discard any sense of isolation. “You’re not alone; you’re never alone.” As those words are proclaimed for the last time, the increasing pitch carries hope, even triumph.
Less clear is whether the message is intended for particular circumstances, such as someone beginning again after life took a wrong turn. Perhaps, but for too many, the directive for hope is helpful across many experiences.
Trenton is the performance name of Ryan Courtney. He is based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Lyrics of “Not Alone” by Trenton
Slowly making your way out of town
It hurts to tear fragile roots from the ground
It’s alright to start over sometimes
To find a field with new mountains to climb
Turn these ashes to gold
(with the sunlight)
We’ll shape a life of our own
You’re not alone
(Everything is new
Nothing left to lose
Daring and invincible)
You’re never alone
(Search beyond the sea
Who you’re meant to be
Image of a miracle)
You’re not alone
(A heart magnificent
Feel your innocence
Fading with the morning dew)
You’re never alone
(Facing the unknown
Steady like a stone
Darling we will make it through)
A thousand words in the corner of your mind
Thoughts keep racing, like the illusion of time
It's alright to start over sometimes
To wipe the heartache and stinging from your eyes
Turn these ashes to gold
(with the sunlight)
Even if our dreams have been sold
You’re not alone
(Everything is new
Nothing left to lose
Daring and invincible)
You’re never alone
(Search beyond the sea
Who you’re meant to be
Image of a miracle)
You’re not alone
(Heart magnificent
Feel your innocence
Fading with the morning dew)
You’re never alone
(Facing the unknown
Steady like a stone
Darling we will make it through)
Rise in the morning
Face the unknown
Purpose adorning
With seeds that you've sown
(You’re not alone)
Your skin burns like fire
But your heart will be known
(You’re never alone)
Seize every moment
A gift in its owns
You’re not alone
You’re never alone
