Out Here on My Own
Finding Strength and Belonging: Susan Boyle's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I reflect on my journey
Where I've been
Contemplating where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
Questioning my identity and sense of belonging
Make-believing is hard alone
Imagination and pretending are challenging when alone
Out here, on my own
Struggling and facing challenges independently
We're always proving
Constantly demonstrating and proving our true selves
Who we are
Asserting and affirming who we are
Always reaching
Continually aspiring for success and recognition
For that rising star
Striving for a goal, symbolized by a rising star
To guide me far
Seeking guidance to lead me towards my destination
And shine me home
Yearning for a source of light and comfort
Out here on my own
Facing challenges and uncertainties independently
When I'm down and feeling blue
Experiencing sadness and melancholy
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Finding solace by closing my eyes and imagining a connection
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Asking for strength from a significant other
Baby, belong to me
Expressing a desire for belonging and commitment
Help me through
Requesting support to overcome difficulties
Help me need you
Expressing a mutual need for each other
Until the morning sun appears
Anticipating a brighter future with the morning sun
Making light of all my fears
Minimizing and overcoming fears in the light of day
I dry the tears I've never shown
Concealing and dealing with unshown tears
Out here on my own
Facing challenges and uncertainties independently
But when I'm down and feeling blue
Experiencing sadness and melancholy again
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Finding solace by closing my eyes and imagining a connection again
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Asking for strength from a significant other again
Baby, belong to me
Expressing a desire for belonging and commitment again
Help me through
Requesting support to overcome difficulties again
Help me need you
Expressing a mutual need for each other again
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes reflecting on my journey again
Where I've been
Contemplating where I've been again
Who I am, do I fit in?
Questioning my identity and sense of belonging again
I may not win
Acknowledging that success may not always be guaranteed
But I can't be thrown
Resisting defeat and persevering independently
Out here on my own
Facing challenges and uncertainties independently again
Out here
Continuing to confront challenges independently
On my own
Remaining independent and self-reliant
