Out Here On My Own/Irene Cara

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
Make believin' is hard alone
Out here on my own
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for the risin' star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feelin' 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've never shown
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feelin' 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't be thrown
Out here on my own
On my own

I totally love the lyrics of this song. Funny though, because this song has always been one of my favorites since high school and yet I almost forgot that this song exists. I only remembered it because my friends and I went to Red Box and we made a list of what we wanted to sing and I was reminded again last night of why I liked this song in the first place when I saw a contestant from a local reality show cry because of this song. And she almost made me cry too. Almost.
