There Would Have Been No Me!

Without you in my sky
The sun will not shine
The birds will not fly
My life will not align

Without you in my soil
The grains won’t grow
I trade my tears and toil
For weariness and woe

Without you in my sea
My ship will swiftly sink
My faith will fall and flee
I will only sweat and stink

Without you in my life
I will have been a tree
Tossed by sorrows and strife
There would have been no me
