I survived a dreadful accident
In the car crash of the century
My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement
But in the back of the ambulance
I'd never felt so contentA high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergencyI tossed and turned in sterile apathy
Until the violets arrived for me
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room
And the place got smaller as they grew taller
And taught me to bloomA high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergencyThe curtains decayed, the daylight poured in
I was never afraid of the darkness again
My burns were third degree, but I'd been set free
'Cause grace had finally found its way to meA high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me, happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergencyThrough a grave emergency
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency
