I know you're hurt,
goin' through changes
that never move fast enough
or deep enough for you.
When you were young,
crazy and spiteful,
you made mistakes like everyone else
to never look back.
But there comes a time
when you can't find the answers
and you're tired of runnin'
and you've just gotta say:
For once in my life,
I'm not afraid to face the truth.
For once in my life,
I can reach, reach out for you.
Tell me your dreams
have not been forgotten,
that given a chance,
our love can find the light of day.
Hold out your hand
though it might be frightenin'
and the people you meet,
they think they've found a better way
'Cause there comes a time
when you can't find the answers
and you're tired of runnin'
and you just gotta say:
For once in my life,
I'm not afraid to face the truth.
For once in my life,
I can reach out for you.
For once in my life,
well, I know where I belong.
For once in my life,
I am strong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For once in my life,
I'm not afraid to face the truth.
For once in my life,
I can reach out for you.
For once in my life,
I am strong.
For once in my life,
reach for me, baby.
For once in my life,
no, no, I'm not afraid.
Reach for me, baby,
'cause I'm not afraid.
For once in my life,
oh, for once in my life,
I'm not afraid, no.
Reach for me, baby.
Yeah, for once in my life,
for once in my life,
I'm not afraid,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
For once in my life,
reach for me, baby.
