I thank you
For helping me through the storm
I thank you
For helping me carry on through the storm
It's been a long time coming
And the world keep turning round... through the storm
It's turn for love

[Chorus]
Day after day
Week after week
Month after month
Turn into a year

I've been through so many changes
But somehow I hold on
I don't know where
Don't know where to go
But I'mma keep holding on, baby
Day after day
Week after week
Month after month
Turn into a year
