Because You Need Me
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'd 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 strength within ( strength within )
To be brave enough to love with all I am
You saved me from a wasted night
You tell me that I saved your life ( you saved my life )
A flower calling 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 can 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
