"I Stand Alone" is a song from the Warner Bros. 1998 animated film Quest for Camelot. It was sung by the film's deuteragonist Garrett voiced by his singer Bryan White. The song was written by Carole Bayer Sager and David Foster.
Sequence[]
After learning from Ayden that Excalibur is somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, Garrett goes after it, thus he assists to Kayley that He and Ayden work alone, He then goes into his song as he uses his stick to tap the stone he's standing on to rise up to the cliff and fallen tree up the waterfall. Garrett opens up the waterfall with his stick and goes underneath it before it closes right on Kayley. He then swings from the giant tree in the forest to a pile of branches until he reaches the rock surface with Kayley trying to catch up with him unaware that Bladebeak is following them. Garrett then reaches to other side of the forest via water fountains from the lake and landing on an alive tree stump which moves him to a bottom side of the forest before he sets off on an helicopter like flower which takes him up to a rock cliff slope, Kayley however, climbs up the rock cliff and finally catches up with Garrett who then finally and reluctantly lets her help him to find Excalibur.
Reprise[]
Later on in the film, After the heroes have found Excalibur and exit the forest, Garrett then hands the sword to Kayley and tells her that he doesn't belong in Camelot and heads back in the forest with Ayden. Garrett tells Ayden that he feels that Kayley will not see him as knight if he goes to Camelot with her. He claims himself that he isn't a knight, a man or anything, and keeps travelling further in the forest.
Lyrics[]
I know the sound of each rock and stone,
And I embrace what others fear.
You are not to roam in this forgotten place,
Just the likes of me are welcome here.
Everything breathes
And I know each breath
For me it means life
For others, it's death
It's perfectly in balance
Perfectly planned
More than enough
For this man
Like every tree
Stands on it's own
Reaching for the sky
I stand alone
I share my world
With no one else
All by myself
I stand alone
I seen your world
With these very eyes
Don't come any closer
Don't even try
I've felt all the pain
And heard all the lies
But in my world there's no
Compromise
Like every tree
Stands on it's own
Reaching for the sky
I stand alone
I share my world
With no one else
All by myself
I stand alone
All by myself
I stand alone
All by myself
I stand alone

I know the sound of each rock and stone
I embrace what others fear
You are not to roam in this forgotten place
Just the likes of me welcome here
Everything breathes
And I know each breath
More than enough for this man
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
Deep in the darkness my heart
My heart still sees
Everything I'll never be
Behind these eyes I go everywhere
There's no need for sympathy
Everything breathes
And I know each breath
In my world there's no comprise
Like every tree stands on its own
Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself
Still I will remember
Still I run with you, yeah
And when it's time for you to go
Take me in your heart
Like every tree stands on its own
Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
All by myself
All by myself
I stand alone
I know the sound of each rock and stone
I embrace what others fear
You are not to roam in this forgotten place
Just the likes of me welcome here
Everything breathes
And I know each breath
More than enough for this man
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
Deep in the darkness my heart
My heart still sees
Everything I'll never be
Behind these eyes I go everywhere
There's no need for sympathy
Everything breathes
And I know each breath
In my world there's no comprise
Like every tree stands on its own
Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself, I stand alone
