lyrics

Thinking of when you changed my mind
And sent me off to find
The sound that I’ve come to recognize
That one perfect line

Though you’re not here your words
Still hit my ears
Words that make all you’ve touched, wise in their years
Wise enough to bring peace, hope, love
To all who can hear

Thinking of when you changed my mind
Opened me to the truth
Truth of the world
Is to give what you’re given
And give it with my thanks
To you
