Story Behind The Song

Inspired by the sad story of a business acquaintance who suffered a disastrous, abusive marriage that made it difficult for her to have the confidence to start again. Understandably, abusive relationships, and even simply unhappy endings, shatter confidence; yet there will be someone who will love and respect you for who you are. The words are open to be applied to various situations.

Song Description

A song of encouragement for people seeking a lasting relationship, especially following failure of another relationship that may have been unsatisfactory and even abusive. There is a hook in the last phrase where the one doing the encouraging turns out to be in love with the subject.

Lyrics

Someone Out There

You may believe you pass unnoticed in the night;
But I can tell you, that's delusion.
Your flashing eyes that dance like glitter in the light,
Attract attention every time.
You fear that love has passed you by.
Could this be a state of mind?

For someone, out there, may be impatient for a cue;
Someone, too shy to come to you;
Someone, out there, even closer than you'd hope;
Someone, you'd really like to know.

Empty years of hateful bitterness and spite
Spawned the seeds of disillusion.
The cherished dream then flung like ashes from the fire
That stole away your heart's desire.
You bore the heartbreak and the shame,
Good reasons not to trust again.

But someone, out there, may be impatient for a cue;
Someone, too shy to come to you;
Someone, out there, even closer than you'd hope;
Believe me, my friend, I know.

You found your strength in weakness, reclaimed your life.
Success became a shield that you could hide behind;
Yet, through our brief acquaintance, from time to time,
Revealed, at last, the lovely one inside.

Now, someone, out there, is so impatient for a cue;
Someone, too shy to come to you;
Someone, out there, the one who shares your dream;
Someone, out there, can't you see?
Someone, out there, like me.
