SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1983


Is there someone I can believe in 
Is there somewhere I can hide 
Take me out of the straits I'm in 
Come and stay here by my side.

Somebody I can rely on 
I broke the law, I've been set free 
Give me something to decide upon 
Come and show yourself to me.

Is there someone sewing seams 
Through all my hopes, through all my dreams 
You know living a life of ease 
Don't make your meals taste better, if you please.

(bridge)

Is there someone I can relate to 
Who will break the ice for me 
Take me out of the place I'm in 
Come and share your life with me.

Somebody with nothing to live up to 
Who will mend my broken dreams 
Give me a wave I can ride upon 
Come and show your strength to me.

I have felt the final rush 
Of love's embrace, the magic touch 
Running headlong to attract 
I felt the breath of Satan, on my back.

(bridge)

Is there someone I can believe in 
Is there something I can do
Take me out of the straits I'm in 
Let me show myself to you.

Somebody to whom I can belong 
Take my hand, I've been set free 
Give me some wings I can glide upon 
Come and show yourself to me.

Is there someone sewing seams 
Through all my hopes, through all my dreams 
You know living a life of ease 
Don't make your meals taste better, if you please.
