You Were Loved Lyrics

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
