Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,

Casting its shadows near

And on this morning bright though it be,

I feel those shadows near me


But you are always close to me

Following all my ways

May I be always close to you

Following all your ways, Lord


I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,

Warming the earth below

And at the mid-day, life seems to say:

I feel your brightness near me


For you are always

Following all my ways

May I be always close to you

Following all your ways, Lord


I watch the sunset fading away,

Lighting the clouds with sleep

And as the evening closes its eyes,

I feel your presence near me


For you are always

Following all my ways

May I be always close to you

Following all your ways, Lord


I watch the moonlight guarding the night,

Waiting till morning comes

The air is silent, earth is at rest

Only your peace is near me


Yes, you are always

Following all my ways

May I be always close to you

Following all your ways, Lord
