[Intro: All]
I'll be the one

[Verse 1: AJ]
I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

[Verse 2: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light

[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

[Refrain: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright

[Bridge: Brian]
You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams coming true
I can show you what true love means
Just take me hand, baby please

[Middle 8: All]
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run

[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

[Middle 8: All]
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one

[Refrain: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you will be alright

[Outro: AJ]
I'll be the one

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
