[Verse 1]
There's a poet in me that remembers
And there's an honesty in every word
There's a dancer that feels her own beat
And there's a daughter who loves
There's a sinner in my bones
And there's a joker in my head
There are secrets in my soul
And there are sorries that I have never said

[Chorus]
But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come
Oh, I still got time to fold
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now, I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone

[Verse 2]
There's a tight rope that I've been walking
There's a daisy in my hair
There's a heartbreak that has taught me
Of what is raging
And there's only love and fear
There's a sadness in my confessions
There's a hyena howling at the moon
And there's a gypsy in me that keeps on roaming
And there's an anger as I get closer to the truth

[Chorus]
But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come
Oh, I still got time to fold
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now, I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone

[Post-Chorus]
I gotta walk alone
I've got to walk alone
But for now, I gotta walk alone

[Bridge]
Oh, I hear the thunder, but I won't back down
A soldier marches through the wrong side of town
I'm gonna love you until I bleed
And that's the story of me
I gotta walk alone
If they say timing's everything

[Chorus]
There's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come
Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
Now I gotta walk alone

[Outro]
I've got to walk alone
I've got to walk alone
I gotta walk alone
For now, I gotta walk alone

Cher

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
