[Verse 1]
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
Somewhere I know I'll be strong

[Chorus]
For once, I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew, oh
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Yeah (For once in my life)

[Verse 2]
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before)
For once, I have someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

[Chorus]
For once, I can say (Hey)
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
[Post-Chorus]
Someone who needs me (Yeah)
Someone who needs me

[Harmonica Solo]
(For once in my life)
(For once in my life)

[Verse 3]
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before)
For once, I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone)

[Chorus]
For once, I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me

[Post-Chorus]
Someone who needs me (Hey, hey)
Someone who needs me
Someone who needs me
Someone who needs me
