i'm runnin' down a one way street
 all i wanna know
 are you going my way?
 is there some place quiet where we can meet?
 and friends they come and friends they go
 but you were always by my side and where it all ends
 i don't know
 don't cry no more, just hold on tight
 there was a time when i was desperate
 living in a town without a name
 and when things got so dark and desolate
 you taught me how to hide my shame
 and kings and queens and millionaires
 may never know what i've known
 and thank the stars i'm the lucky one
 thanx for the lesson that i've been shown
 i feel rich, i feel power and security
 and when i'm weak, you are strong
 once in a lifetime, twice in eternity
 and guess what?
 nothing else matters anyways
