Standing cold and scared on top of the hill
Then came the moment when I lost my will
I prayed for mercy please don't take me away
Give me the sunshine when I only see rain
The past had a hold on me
It can't be denied
And the changes didn't come easily
I've been lonely, I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, I've been put down, and told I'm no good
But with you I belong
Because you helped me be strong
There's been a change in my life since you came along
Now I don't mind working hard every day
And I don't pay no mind to what people say
'Cause after all the pain I've been through
I gave up everything to love only you
See, all my life I've walked with my head bent in shame
But since I found you, with you I've been made
I've been lonely, I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good
But with you I belong
Because you helped me be strong
There's been a change in my life since you came along
Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong
And the heart gets a little weary when it doesn't belong
And the road gets a little bit rocky but you've got to keep on
And let the new light shining on you
I've been lonely, and I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, and I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good
But with you I belong
Because you helped me be strong
There's been a change in my life since you came along
Can you see it (well I can see your love around me)
Can you hear it (I hear it in my heart)
Can you feel it (well I can feel the power around me)
Let the new light come shining on me
I've been lonely, and I've been cheated, and I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, and I've been put down, and I've been told I'm no good
But with you I belong
Because you helped me be strong
There's been a change in my life since you came along
