<lyrics>
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,
you 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 given a new spirit in my midst,
that day before the century ended.
and on top of all that, you are beautiful (x2)

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.

You have changed my life,
you 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.
