For once in my life

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
someone I've needed so long
For once I'm afraid I can go where life leads me
and somehow 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 dreams 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
and I'm not alone anymore


For once I can say: this is mine you won't take it
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once my life I have someone who needs me
