Lyrics

For once in my life

I have someone who needs me

Someone I needed so long

For once unafraid

I can go where life leads me

Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch

What my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew

Ah, someone like you

Would make my dream 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

I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say

This is mine, you can't take it

As long as I know

I have love I can make it

For once in my life

I have 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 I can feel

That somebody heard my plea

For once in my life

I have someone who needs me

For once in my life

In my life
