The light has gone,
The air will come,
You are a mother, father, daughter, or son,
I am with you.
A world of peace,
Consciousness ceased,
The bonds of flesh are being released,
I am with you.
The unexpected arises,
The routine order capsizes,
In need of rescue a hero arises,
I am with you.
The crisis is past,
The disease outcast,
With strength you ascend, pain gone at last,
I am with you.
