    Tonight Glee had a sing off using the song Out Here on My Own.

    "Sometimes I wonder ... who I am, do I fit in. Out here on my own.

    Always proving who we are."

    For some reason it struck a chord with me tonight. That we are the ones out here on our own.

    Love that song! Fame is one of my favorite movies and i have the soundtrack. I can understand the lyrics so much better now.

    I listened to that song a million times the year I left the cult.

    My getting out song was Here I Go Again by Whitesnake:

    I don't know where I'm goin
    but I sure know where I've been
    hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
    An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
    but here I go again, here I go again.

    Tho' I keep searching for an answer
    I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
    Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
    'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

    Here I go again on my own
    goin' down the only road I've ever known.
    Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
    An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

    It was popular in 1987 and I left in 1990.

    I identified with that White Snake song too. I got out at the end of '87.

    Just beautiful

    It's my turn
    To see what I can see
    I hope you'll understand
    This time's just for me

    Because it's my turn
    With no apologies
    I've given up the truth
    To those I've tried to please

    But now it's my turn
    If I don't have all the answers
    At least I know
    I'll take my share of chances
    Ain't no use of holding on
    When nothing stays the same

    So I'll let it rain
    'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
    And I'll let you go
    'Though I know it won't be easy

    It's my turn
    With no more room for lies
    For years I've seen my life
    Through someone else's eyes

    And now it's my turn
    To try and find my way
    And if I should get lost
    At least I'll own today
