Wondering through this forest, life
Walking a thousand steps, a thousand miles
Far, far away, never looking behind, maybe just glimpse, a stolen millisecond
Do you remember to pray?

Embraced by calmness,
When the winter becomes a distant memory
A silent lullaby, music to every peaceful soul
Do you remember to pray?

When days sync with the stillness of the river
When the body feels light and might
When all the scars have faded
Do you remember to pray?

When God has answered all prayers
As answers rain down over and over
With all the glowing expressions and endless smiles
Do you remember to pray?

Encompassed by Islands of laughter,
Where a fruitful harvest never misses a year in every generation
Do you remember to pray? Do you remember to praise God?
May it never be a forgotten tradition, praise be to God
