Sejenak kawan cobalah pahami
Makna dari semua ini
Terlalu banyak air mata yang jatuh
Meratapi kesedihan kita

Mungkin ini sebuah peringatan
Tentang semua manusia
Yang telah merubah hakikatnya

Dan melupakan Sang Kuasa

Semua ini takkan berhenti
Jika keangkuhan masih bertahta
Jika keajaibanNya yang terabaikan

Segeralah bersujud kawan
Sebelum semuanya tlah sia-sia
Itu yang terbaik
Buat hidup kita

Mungkin ini sebuah peringatan
Tentang semua manusia
Yang telah merubah hakikatnya
Dan melupakan Sang Kuasa

Semua ini takkan berhenti
Jika keangkuhan masih bertahta
Jika keajaibanNya yang terabaikan

Segeralah bersujud kawan
Sebelum semuanya tlah sia-sia
Itu yang terbaik
Buat hidup kita

Hidup ini bagaikan sebuah buku
Terbuka dan terlihat jelas
Menjadi cahaya bagi yang tersesat

Semua ini takkan berhenti
Jika keangkuhan masih bertahta
Jika keajaibanNya yang terabaikan

Segeralah bersujud kawan
Sebelum semuanya tlah sia-sia
Itu yang terbaik
Itu yang terbaik
Itu yang terbaik
Buat hidup kita

Hidup kita
Kita dan dunia
