Toto

Songwriter: Steve Lukather Joseph Williams David Paich

You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world
You believe in each and everyone of us
You're never alone in the world

[Verse 1]
I was born in a lost and found
An orphan raised in the underground
Then one day I opened up my eyes
Looked around and I realized
No mother, no father
No sister, and no brother
So I cry out, to the heavens
"Could this be all there really is?", then someone said

[Chorus]
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world, baby
You believe in each and everyone of us
You're never alone in the world, baby

[Verse 2]
Someone said we're one family
How can that be with all this poverty?
Time to reach out and make a start
Hold each other's hands and lift each other's hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're thirsty, drink the water from my hand
If you're hungry, take my bread, I'll understand
If you're lonely, you can always share my bed
"Could this be all there really is?", then someone said

[Chorus]
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world, baby (No, you're never alone)
You believe in each and everyone of us (No)
You're never alone in the world, baby

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
You're never alone in the world
You're never alone in the world, baby (Never alone)
You believe in each and everyone of us (You and me)
You're never alone in the world, baby
If you're thirsty, drink the water from my hand
If you're hungry, take my bread I'll understand
You're never alone in the, you're never alone in the--
"Could this be all there really is?", then someone said

[Guitar Outro]

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
