You have changed my life,

  took my hand in yours then

And brought me into the garden.

You opened my eyes,

You let me stand by you

And see the sounds from here.

You have changed my life, invented me,

  brought me out to the light

And drew a house for me from afar.

You have opened my eyes and showed

  me how to overcome

When you counted the tears with laughter.

Times have changed and we did too,

But I will never forget how you

  touched my heart

And planted a new spirit in me, that day

  before the century ended.

And on top of all that,

You are beautiful.

You have changed my life,

You changed the forbidden to permitted

When the heart was so fragile.

You have opened my eyes,

You showed me openly what is hidden

And you taught my body to sing.
