Written by dianne warren (1996) Performed by whitney houston We all make a place in this world We want our voices to be heard Everyone wants the chance to be someone We all have dreams we need to dream Sweeter than any star you can reach 'cause when you reach and find you've found someone You'll hold this world's most priceless thing The greatest gift this life can bring 'cause when you look back and know you were loved You are loved by someone Touched by someone Held by someone Mean't something to someone Loved somebody Touched somebody's heart along the way You can look back and say You were loved You can have diamonds in your hand Have all the riches in the land But, without love, you don't really have a thing (no, no)
Will somebody care that you're alive Will somebody trust you with their life That's when you'll know (heh) That you have all you need You'll hold this world's most priceless gift The finest treasure that there is 'cause you can look back and know you are loved, oh Hook So many roads that you can take Whatever way you go, don't take that road alone It's better you should know you are You are loved by someone Touched by someone Held by someone Mean't something to someone Loved somebody Touched somebody's heart along the way You can look back and say You did okay You were loved So remember to tell that special one You are loved You are loved You are loved You are loved
