When I first met Theresa I was barely in my teens

She was in her 20’s at least that’s what she seemed

Theresa always seemed so young to me

          Oh how I miss you now, Theresa,

You were everything I always tried to be

You sacrificed your life just to teach us

Theresa, you’re always in my dreams

I was the first of many to recognize her dream

And so I came to walk beside 100 pounds of steel

Many men have crumbled with much less on their shoulders

Theresa always seemed so strong to me

Life wasn’t easy with Theresa

          There was always more to do than we could do

          But we didn’t care if life was easy

          We stayed with her because she knew the truth

That Teresa changed the world was the measure of her wealth

She expected so much of us, but much more of herself

We always tried to please her, she disciplined with love

Theresa changed the world and she changed me

Oh how I miss you now, Theresa,

You were everything I always tried to be

You sacrificed your life just to teach us

Theresa, you’re always in my dreams

Theresa, you’re always in my dreams

Theresa changed the world and she changed me
