I Deserved a Better Life
I wanted to sing, play and dance,
Live every moment under the sun,
Why was I subjected to so much of misery?
I was shattered,
I deserved all that I claimed for honestly...(1)
Just as a fresh flower bud is nipped when it was about to flower,
A gentle gargling stream I was,
I began to roar into a mighty river....... (2)
Every living moment was seized from me,
All events around me crippled me and destroyed all my power..................... (3)
Just as a gigantic ocean were to be robbed from all its power,
A hapless, helpless being I was reduced to be.................................................... (4)
If the Supreme Lord approached me,
And gently asked me my only wish,
My only wish would be to travel back in time,
Live every moment gloriously,
With no bondages and pre-conditions on me...................................... .......... (5)
