"For Once In My Life"

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have someone
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

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 got someone who needs me
