As I live this life

In this perilous time

Reaching my half century

Happy golden fifty

I've carried my load

From a baby to a man

Many a souls pass on Families and friends

In this time - this perilous time

Love no longer smiles

In this time - this perilous time

True love is hard to find

In this perilous time

I give thanks and praise

For every little thing that he has done.

 

As I walk in this world

In this perilous time

Looking back in my life

I've lived over the years

Sweet memories of love

To always keep me warm

Passages is in my life

I wish to erase

In this time - this perilous time

Love no longer smiles

In this time - this perilous time

True love is hard to find

In this perilous time

I give thanks and praise to Jah

For every litlle thing that he has done

 

As I live my life

In this perilous time

Reaching my half century

Happy golden fifty

I've carried my load

From a baby to a man

Many a souls pass on Families and friends

In this time - this perilous time

Love no longer smiles

In this time - this perilous time

True love is hard to find

In this perilous time

I give thanks and praise

For every little thing that he has done.

 

As my life goes on

In this perilous time

Once a man twice a child

Slowly creeping up on me

Hairs of gray

Covering all over me

By the grace of Jah

I'll live to see another fifty

 

In this time - this perilous time

Love no longer smiles

In this time - this perilous time

True love is hard to find

In this perilous time

I give thanks and praise to Jah

For every little thing he has done.
