When I was a kid, I knew that this life was wonderful
Many candies, many toys, many people love me
Everyone spoils me and gives me everything I want
I didn’t know who You are, but You were there
And grace my days with Your everlasting love
When I grew older, I realized that life couldn’t be that easy
I had to study hard, made paper, did the test, finished my study
I was bored and lost the purpose of my existence
I work to earn money and had a lot of responsibilities
It was really tiring and I thought that I couldn’t stand up again
I came to the point where I thought that life was boring and awful for me
But You were there and gave me strength when I was weak
You lifted me up again when I was down
You filled my heart with Your love
You gave me theme for my existence in this world
And now I am old and grey headed, can’t do anything
So many troubles I have faced and many raging seas I’ve crossed
I can’t even move my legs now and stay still in this bed
But I know that there is a person who still care for me
Who never leave me alone
It’s You who were there when I was a kid
It’s You who were there when I was down
It’s You who are here when I lay myself down in this bed
It is You who I want to be by my side
When I close this blurred eyes forever in eternity
