Out Here On My Own...

Suddenly this song struck a chord and tugged a heartstring.. As I was listening to it on my iPod at work, I just felt an urge to write it down and sing to it.

Besides the stirring lyrics, it has the most beautiful music.. I loved it 20 years ago, and still do now.

As I am mostly `out here on my own' in my life, I can identify with the song in a way - not in a melancholic but more in a sentimental way. To me the `you' would not be another person or man, but my Lord and Saviour..

So, I know I'm not on my own - I have my Lord, I also have my two Js, and many dear family members and friends.. :)

Out Here On My Own - Irene Cara

Sometimes I wonder, where I've been
who I am, do I fit in
make believe in, it's hard alone
out here on my own

We're always proving who we are
always reaching for that rising star
to guide me far and shine me home
out here on my own

When I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby be strong for me
baby belong to me
help me through, help me need you...

Until the morning, sun appears
making light of all my fears
I dry the tears, I never show
Out here on my own

But when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby be strong for me
baby belong to me
help me through, help me need you

Sometimes I wonder, where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
I may not win, but I can be strong
Out here on my own
