When

Анна Алексюк
When the world turns you down,
Giving nothing to take with,
When there’s no one around
To give a strength to resist,

When you are left behind
With memories which tear your heart,
Having no wish to find
A single reason for new start,

Then put your heart to the touch,
Stick to your own word,
Be brave to stand the test,
And be your own lord.

Follow the path with faith,
Be the one to survive,
Guard against the wrong,
And live your own life.

When all people knock you down,
Saying what to choose,
When you count in mind
Things you have to lose,

When it’s gonna be the end
Of what you’ve dreamed before,
And when you lower your hand
Denying life’s restore,

Then put your heart to the touch,
Stick to your own word,
Be brave to stand the test,
And be your own lord.

Follow the path with faith,
Be the one to survive,
Guard against the wrong,
And live your own life.
