You Opened My Eyes

You opened my eyes,
And made me see the goodness,
The goodness of the world
And the goodness of the people around me

You opened my eyes,
And made me see the love
See the love you shower on me
And the love that others have for me

You opened my eyes
And made me see the misery
The misery I was causing people
And the misery I was causing myself

You opened my eyes
And made me see I needed you
I needed you to guide me and hold me
I needed you to change me

You opened my eyes
Now I am different
I’ve changed for the better
And it’s all down to you

Thanks you for opening my eyes
Thank you for showing me the love
Thank you for showing me the goodness
And thank you for changing me
