Lyrics

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me
And I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say: "This is mine you won't take it"
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone
For once in my life I've found someone
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
