Standing cold and scared on top of the hill   Then came the moment when I lost my will   I prayed for mercy please don't take me away   Give me the sunshine when I only see rain   The past had a hold on me   It can't be denied   And the changes didn't come easily      I've been lonely, I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood   I've been washed up, I've been put down, and told I'm no good   But with you I belong    Because you helped me be strong    There's been a change in my life since you came along      Now I don't mind working hard every day   And I don't pay no mind to what people say    'Cause after all the pain I've been through   I gave up everything to love only you   See, all my life I've walked with my head bent in shame   But since I found you, with you I've been made      I've been lonely, I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood   I've been washed up, I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good   But with you I belong    Because you helped me be strong    There's been a change in my life since you came along      Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong   And the heart gets a little weary when it doesn't belong   And the road gets a little bit rocky but you've got to keep on   And let the new light shining on you      I've been lonely, and I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood   I've been washed up, and I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good   But with you I belong    Because you helped me be strong    There's been a change in my life since you came along      Can you see it (well I can see your love around me)   Can you hear it (I hear it in my heart)   Can you feel it (well I can feel the power around me)   Let the new light come shining on me      I've been lonely, and I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood   I've been washed up, and I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good   But with you I belong    Because you helped me be strong    There's been a change in my life since you came along
