Oh God, my family deity, all is well, my Lord.
Is it wrong if I ask you for one thing?
I have no other help, no one stood by me.
You are everything to me in this world, Lord.
Forgive and fix the mistakes I have made,
and lift my life up a little.
Just this one blessing is enough, Lord... ah... ah...
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thannaane thaanena
Yesterday is gone with the wind,
blown away with the wind...
Yesterday is gone with the wind,
and a new day has dawned like a gentle breeze.
Days slipped away thinking it was all just fate,
yet thinking something good will surely happen,
my heart kept on believing.
There is a higher power beyond you,
it will walk beside you and bring you safely ashore, Lord.
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thannaane thaanenaa...
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thanne thannaane
Thannaane thaanenaa...
