For once in my life
The shutters to my house have come on down
For once in my life
I sit and watch the light caress the ground
Oh...it makes me feel so not alone
I want to know that kinda love
If lights like a lover
Then it can take me on, it can take me on
If lights like a lover
Then it can light me up and go beyond, and on, on and on
So what have I been so afraid
Of clinging on to what I've made
What if everything inside
Has brought me here to you this time
For Once in My Life
Nothing else remains, nothing else the same
For Once in My Life
The cloak has come on down, nothing else but sound
For once in my life
If you cared to know me
For once in my life
Could you understand me
If you could see, what I mean, what I really mean
If you cared to know me
Oh if you cared to know me
To know me
