*****
Sometimes I wonder where I've been,
Who I am, do I fit in?
Make believin' is hard alone,
Out here on my own.
We're always provin' who we are,
Always reachin' for that risin' star to guide me far
And shine me home,
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue,
I close my eyes so I can be with you.
Oh, baby, be strong for me;
Baby, belong to me.
Help me through
Help me need you
Until the morning sun appears,
Making light of all my fears,
I dry the tears
I've never shown
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue,
I close my eyes so I can be with you.
Oh, baby, be strong for me;
Baby, belong to me.
Help me through
Help me need you
Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
I may not win,
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own,
Out here on my own.
