I will rise from the ashes of the bonfire of your love
I will emerge scarred but whole
I will be the rainbow after the storm
and you will be only the memory of a bad dream

She changed my world.

She made me tie my shoe,
I'd no idea it was untied.

She made me stand up straight,
I was unaware of my slouch.

She told me to tell the truth,
Was I telling lies?

Yeah, I was telling lies,
She was the mirror of my condition,

She held everyone to higher standards,
I was unaware I had any,

She opened my eyes,
And changed my world.

In only one night,
She changed my world.
