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 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 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 needs me For once I can feel that somebody's heard my plea For once in my life I have someone who needs me
