For once in my life, I have someone who needs meSomeone I've needed so longFor once I'm afraid I can't go where life leads meAnd somehow I know I'll be strongFor once I can touch what my heart used to dream ofLong before I knew youSomeone more like youWords make my dream come trueOnce in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt meNot like it's hurt me beforeFor once I have something I know won't desert meNow I'm not alone anymoreFor once I can say this is mine, you can't take itLong as I know I have love, I can't make itFor once in my life, I have someone who needs meFor once I can say this is mine, you can't take itLong as I know I have love, I can't make itFor once I can feel that somebody heard my pleaFor once in my life, I have someone who needs me
