"For Once In My Life" lyrics

"For Once In My Life"
(originally by Stevie Wonder)

For once in my life, I've got someone who needs me
Someone I've 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
Could 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 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."
Long as I know I've got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I got someone who needs me

At least for once, I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it."
Long as I know I got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I got someone
For once in my life, I found someone
For once in my life, I got someone who needs me
