Sometimes I
wonder where I've been,
Who I am,
Do I fit in.
Make believein'
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.
But 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.
