Out Here On My Own Lyrics

Artist: Irene Cara

Sometimes I wonder where I've been,
Who I am,
Do I fit in.
Make believein' is hard alone,
Out here on my own.

We're always provin' who we are,
Always reachin'
For that 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.

But 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,

Out here on my own.

Absolutely the best song on the soundtrack except for Fame itself, maybe. I have been sing the song for over 12 years. Until now, I didn't know I was singing it with a missing verse. Can you say "embarassing!"

This is one classic example of a well-written,well-crafted & well-interpreted song... It's really amazing how people can write songs that comes from the heart.

... ,alone on our own life's journey, are so real. Our inner-strength keeps us focused, keeps us grounded, on who we and who we
are meant to be. Keep strong - keep focused. I've sung this song
20 years ago, still, conceptually,
it is fresh, it's new!
