For Once in My Life
Embracing Love's Liberation: Nancy Wilson's Journey
Lyrics
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Expressing joy about having someone in their life who depends on them.
Someone I’ve needed so long
Highlighting the long-standing desire for the presence of the mentioned person.
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me and somehow I know I’ll be strong
Conveying a newfound fearlessness in facing life's uncertainties, with the confidence that they will emerge strong.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Expressing the ability to now experience what their heart once only dreamed of.
Long before I knew
Reflecting on a time in the past, before they were aware of certain emotions or experiences.
Someone warm like you
Describing the newfound person as warm and comparing them to someone previously envisioned.
Who have my dreams come true
Acknowledging that this person has made their dreams a reality.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Expressing a determination not to let sorrow affect them anymore.
Not like it's hurt me before
Contrasting the present with past experiences of hurt from sorrow.
For once I have someone I know won't desert me
Expressing confidence in having someone reliable who won't abandon them.
I’m not alone anymore
Conveying the relief of not feeling alone anymore.
For once I can say
Expressing the ability to claim ownership over something valuable.
This is mine you can’t take it
Asserting the permanence of what they possess and that it cannot be taken away.
As long as I know I have love I can make it
Stating that having love makes challenges surmountable.
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Reiterating the joy of having someone who depends on them.
For once I can say
Repeating the assertion of ownership and security in the mentioned relationship.
This is mine you can’t take it
Reiterating the idea that what they have cannot be taken away.
As long as I know I have love we can make it
Blank line, possibly emphasizing a moment of reflection or pause.
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Reaffirming the joy of having someone who depends on them.
