Where was i before your love?
Drifting like the clouds above.
And who was i before i knew your name?
A song without a melody,
A road without a destiny.
And how could i have ever known you’d touch me
And i’ll never be the same.
The world is open to me, now,
With you i feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.
I’ve always had this love to give,
But never had a strength within
To be great enough to love with all i am.
You saved me from a wasted night,
You tell me that i saved your life,
A flower crawling for the rain,
I said a prayer for you and then you came.
The world is open to me, now,
With you i feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.
And in your eyes i know where i belong
And here, beside your heart, you keep me strong.
You are the reason i could carry on,
Because you need me.
All because you need, all because you need me.
The world is open to me, now,
With you i feel the solid ground beneath me
All because you need me.
And now my life is in your hands,
You gave my heart a second chance to beat,
All because you need me.
You need me.
