As we sail the sea of life
With the dreaded turbulence at the fore
The thorn of suffering is pierced on our side
On our backs, roots of evil permeate
The waves of temptation
Lulls you back and forth to the shore of righteousness
Hoist your sail to the right direction
Lest you will be lost at sea
Your buoyancy is not the only thing that is at risk
Your fervor to reach the coast
Serenity to face the storm
Hope knowing that there is sunlight thereafter
Only we shall sail peacefully
If You Oh God is my Helmsman
For from nothingness we become
And to nothingness we shall be
... if we steer on our own
With the dreaded turbulence at the fore
The thorn of suffering is pierced on our side
On our backs, roots of evil permeate
The waves of temptation
Lulls you back and forth to the shore of righteousness
Hoist your sail to the right direction
Lest you will be lost at sea
Your buoyancy is not the only thing that is at risk
Your fervor to reach the coast
Serenity to face the storm
Hope knowing that there is sunlight thereafter
Only we shall sail peacefully
If You Oh God is my Helmsman
For from nothingness we become
And to nothingness we shall be
... if we steer on our own
