Everyone is looking
For fame and fortune
Everyone wants
To be seen
Everyone wants
Their voice to be heard
But not me
No, not me

Like the Earth where I stand
Or the air that I breathe
There’s just one thing that I need
Like the water falling from the sky
There’s one thing that makes me feel alright
I need to be needed
Need to be needed tonight

You can sing or dance
Act or play
Anything you want
To gain that fame
Anything you want
So your name is known
That life’s not for me
No, not for me

Like the Earth where I stand
Or the air that I breathe
There’s just one thing that I need
Like the water falling from the sky
There’s one thing that makes me feel alright
I need to be needed
Need to be needed tonight

And the rain’s always pouring
My thoughts are soaring
When you call my name
This is where I belong
This is where I’m meant to be

Like the Earth where I stand
Or the air that I breathe
There’s just one thing that I need
Like the water falling from the sky
There’s one thing that makes me feel alright
I need to be needed
Need to be needed tonight
