[Verse 1]
Missing something in my life
Searching for it day and night
Could not seem to get it right
'Til you walked my way
Leaving lovers one by one
Did not like who I would become
Could not face myself, I turn and run
Made me see that I could change
Out of my darkness
As I step into the light
We get a new day
Taking one step at a time

[Chorus]
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
You made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Girl, you were my rescue
All I needed was you

[Verse 2]
I used to always get my way
Told me that you would not stay
Had to face it, what you had to say
If I wanted you
You tell me when I did you wrong
I guess I have known it all along
Cared enough and you stood strong
I believed in you
In my frustrations
Tried to become someone else
The years I have wasted
I would been lying to myself
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
You made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Hear me calling
What I needed
What I needed was you
In you I found shelter
How you believed in me, stood strong
You were there through my darkest hour
You lifted my spirit up
Brought out the best in me
And now I will stand before you with all my love

[Chorus]
You were what I needed
I was falling
Hiding my emotion
But you made me see the truth
Your love was what I needed
Hear me calling
Waiting for a lifetime
Girl you were my rescue
What I needed was you

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
