I was a child in the dark not knowing where to begin
or how to speak out loud 'bout all the marvellous things
and then I finally noticed what he was talking about
and then the fire starts burning
from down deep inside
thank you for giving me hope
I closed my eyes and suddenly I knew
thank you for loving me so
that's all I was longing for
trying to make sense of things closed off from reality
blind to the only solution that being simplicity
but then he opened my eyes and I could feel,
crystal clear a rushing of air breaking through
filling me with life
thank you for giving me hope
I closed my eyes and suddenly I knew
thank you for loving me so
that's all I was longing for
thank you for making me see
the serendipity of life
thank you for setting me free
and giving me time to tear down my walls
and to all who say it is sick to be so pathetic
can't you see the marvel of it
you with your blindfolds your prejudice and fear
who think that feelings are a disease
you won't cast a shadow over my joy, no
'cause I'm scandalously in favour of life
thank you for letting me know
everybody can have an open mind
thank you for giving me hope
I closed my eyes and suddenly I knew
thank you for loving me so
that's all I was longing for
thank you for trying to show
there's more to life than this.
