[ARTIE, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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
Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Whoa, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(For once in my life)

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

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

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
