I was l istening to the voices of d eath on parade
S ingin' about conspiracy wanting m e to be afraid
W orking for a system I couldn't u nderstand or trust
Suffering ridicule and wanting to give it al l up in disgust.
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
Talk about s alvation people s uddenly get tired
They got a m illion things to do t hey're all so inspired
You do the w ork of the devil you got a m illion friends
They'll be there when you got something they'll tak e it all in the end
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
Well the n ature of man is to b eg and to steal
I d o it myself it's n ot so unreal
The c all of the wild is fore ver at my door
Wants me to fly like an eagle while being ch ained to the floor
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
I was e ating with the pigs off a f ancy tray
I was t old i was looking good and to h ave a nice day
It a ll seemed so proper it all s eemed so elite
Eating that absolute garbage wh ile being so discreet
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
You were g lowing in the sun while being p eaceably calm
While o rphans of man danced to the b eat of the palm
Your e yes were on fire your f eet were of brass
In the world you had made they ma de you an outcast
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
There was s omeone in my body that I could hardly see
Inv ading my privacy making my d ecisions for me
H olding me back not l etting me stand
Making me feel like a stranger in a st range land
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
My L ord and my Savior my c ompanion my friend
Heart fix er mind regulat or true to the end
My c reator my comforter my c ause for joy
What the world is set against but will ne ver destroy
But y ou c hanged my li fe
C ame along i n a time of s trife
In h unger and need you m ade my heart bleed
Y ou c hanged my l ife.
