I found myself today Oh, I found myself and ran away But something pulled me back The voice of reason I forgot I had All I know is you're not here to say What you always used to say But it's written in the sky tonight So I won't give up, no I won't break down Sooner than it seems life turns around And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe Someone's watching over me I've seen that ray of light And it's shining on my destiny Shining all the time, and I won't be afraid To follow everywhere it's taking me All I know is yesterday is gone And right now I belong To this moment, to my dreams So I won't give up, no I won't break down Sooner than it seems life turns around And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe Someone's watching over me It doesn't matter what people say And it doesn't matter how long it takes Believe in yourself and you'll fly high And it only matters how true you are Be true to yourself and follow your heart So I won't give up, no I won't break down Sooner than it seems life turns around And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe So I won't give up, no I won't break down Sooner than it seems life turns around And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe Someone's watching over me Someone's watching over Someone's watching over Someone's watching over me Yeah, oh, oh, Someone's watching over me
