Way back in my life, when I was nothing but a child I stood just where you are and looked around And felt that I could walk on higher ground But time drifted by For years I ran from face to face And somehow I forgot why I was there And somehow I forgot to care For once in my life, I'll get it right Always before, I let it all go For once in my life, I won't turn around Cause I know that I'll be strong For once in my life Way back in my mind, thought I'd make it on my own The wonders of the world were there for me But dreams, they'd fade and die When a man can keep his soul alive So when I saw your face beyond the wall I knew I nearly lost it all For once in my life, I'll get it right Always before, I let it all go For once in my life, I won't turn around Cause I know that I'll be strong For once in my life And the tears rolled down, rolled down my face Till I've cried for the human race Let love be my last temptation Let love be my great creation For once in my life, I'll get it right Always before, I let it all go For once in my life, I won't turn around Cause I know that I'll be strong For once in my life What do you see in my life? Love has to be in my life What do you see in my life? Love has to be in my life In my life Ooh, in my life Deep in my life Ooh, in my life
