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;

And somehow I know I'll be strong.

For once, I can touch what my heart used to dream of,

 Someone warm like you, would make my dreams come true.

 Not like it hurt me before.

For once I have something, I know won't desert me;

 I'm not alone anymore.

As long as I know I have love; I can make it.
