I Used To Want To Rule

I used to want to rule the world
But now I just want to serve those
Who cannot bear to live in it

I used to want the world to bow
But now I just want to heal it
Who can say that I am wrong?

I used to be so focused on power
But now I defend the powerless
Who can say my heart is hard as stone?

I used to be the biggest big bitch there ever was
But like the Grinch my heart grew three sizes too big
Who can guess who caused this event?

I used to care only about me
But then that baby was born into my life
Who knew a baby brother could save my life?

I know he is seven now and doesn't like my hugs or kisses anymore
But who can blame me for hugging him still?
Who can say I am too forceful with my love?

I used to want to rule the world
But who can blame me for wanting to save a small part of it?
Who can blame me for wanting my baby brother to grow up safe?

I once loved power but that thirst was stolen
But who stands a chance against the innocence of a child?
Who can but the most evil can hurt a baby?
