I asked the world for a heart.
A heart to love and heal
I asked that it would be of gold
And to guide me and show me what's real.
-And I met you.

I asked the world for eyes.
Eyes to clearly see
I asked that they would blind me from hate
And show what's in front of me.
-And I saw you.

I asked the world for a smile.
A smile to break the ice.
I asked that it would build a bridge
And show you that I'm nice.
-And I smiled at you.

I asked the world for a chance.
A chance to try again.
I asked that it would let me love
And never be hurt again.
-And I got you.
