Someone To Live For

I was fine all by myself Didn't need nobody's help And I thought that I was better off alone I was living on the run Always out to have some fun I would wind up anywhere the wind was blowing So it took me by surprise the day you stood in front of me I realized that maybe I'd been wrong As everything around me started changing I could see There's something I'd been missing all along You haven't lived Until you've lived for someone else You haven't loved Until you've sacrificed yourself You haven't seen 'Til you've been blinded by the light You haven't lived Until you've found someone To die for I was living in a dream Or at least that's how it seemed I had everything that I could ever want But life will give and take It took my love away And my entire world came tumbling down Lying face down on the ground I learned the greatest thing once more Being carried by the friends that I hold dear You'll survive no matter what you loose or how hard you may fall If someone's there to see you through the tears And you haven't lived Until you've lived for someone else You haven't loved Until you've sacrificed yourself You haven't seen 'Til you've been blinded by the light You haven't lived Until you've found someone To die for And as the years go by There are times when I forget And now I've been reminded of this lesson once again When I see my baby smile And feel her tiny hands in mine You haven't lived Until you've lived for someone else You haven't loved Until you've sacrificed yourself You haven't seen 'Til you've been blinded by the light You haven't lived Until you've found someone To live for Oh, hmm
