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
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 dream come true
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once in my life 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
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life
I have someone who heard my plea

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 have someone who needs me
