I found myself today
Oh, I found myself and ran away
But something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had

All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

[Chorus]
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

I've seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time, and I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me

All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment, to my dreams

[Chorus]

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

[Chorus]

Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Yeah, oh, oh,
Someone's watching over me

    General Comment:This song works for my life perfectly right now.
    My boyfriend died in a car accident in August, and not only were he and I dating, but he was my very best friend.
    I have broken down more times than I can count, but every day I remember what he would have wanted me to do with my life. I know right now he's looking at me remembering all of the good times we shared together. Above all, I know he would want me to keep my chin up and move on with my life. I know he still loves me, wherever he is. And I remember that I have to stay strong, because if he were here to see me crying, he would slap me silly and tell me not to cry and that everything would be alright, one day.

    General Comment:nobody has taken this stance yet... however, im going to say that the song has religious significance... i am a christian, and i think the "someone" could be god, and you know not to give up or break down because god is always watching over you. i played this at my youth group after giving a talk on prayer!! so yeah thats my insight!!

    General Comment:I heard this song a month after my grampa died, and I just started sobbing uncontrollably. I couldnt stop, and I didnt want to. Everything that I felt was conveyed in this song. It worked with the movie so well, and the song is so true for me.
