[English]

When you think you're all alone

I'll wrap you up and I'll take you home

No matter what you're going through

I will look after you

When you get knocked down and you've had enough

Oh I'll be there to dust you off

When you don't know what you're gonna do

I will look after you

...

And if you ever should lose hope

Follow my light from afar

When you don't know where you're going to

I will look after you

I will look after you

...

Someday it will come to be

I'll need you to look after me

...
