For once in my life,  I have someone who needs me,  Someone I needed so long  For once unafraid,  I can go where life leads me  And 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 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  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 in my life,  I won't let sorrow hurt me)  (For once, I have something  I know won't desert me  Ooooh)    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, I can feel  That somebody's heard my plea  For once in my life,  I have someone who needs me
