Standing cold and scared on top of the hill

Then came the moment when I lost my will

I prayed for mercy please dont take me away

Give me the sunshine when I only see rain

The past had a hold on me

It cant be denied

And the changes didnt come easily



Ive been lonely, Ive been cheated, and Ive been misunderstood

Ive been washed up, Ive been put down, and told Im no good

But with you I belong

Because you helped me be strong

Theres been a change in my life since you came along



Now I dont mind working hard every day

And I dont pay no mind to what people say

Cause after all the pain Ive been through

I gave up everything to love only you

See, all my life Ive walked with my head bent in shame

But since I found you, with you Ive been made



Ive been lonely, Ive been cheated, and Ive been misunderstood

Ive been washed up, Ive been put down, and Ive been told Im no good

But with you I belong

Because you helped me be strong

Theres been a change in my life since you came along



Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong

And the heart gets a little weary when it doesnt belong

And the road gets a little bit rocky but youve got to keep on

And let the new light shining on you



Ive been lonely, and Ive been cheated, and Ive been misunderstood

Ive been washed up, and Ive been put down, and Ive been told Im no good

But with you I belong

Because you helped me be strong

Theres been a change in my life since you came along



Can you see it (well I can see your love around me)

Can you hear it (I hear it in my heart)

Can you feel it (well I can feel the power around me)

Let the new light come shining on me



Ive been lonely, and Ive been cheated, and Ive been misunderstood

Ive been washed up, and Ive been put down, and Ive been told Im no good

But with you I belong

Because you helped me be strong

Theres been a change in my life since you came along
