你今日可能会在哪里朋友
Where might you be going this fine day my friend

nǐ shì zǒu zài máng wú mù biāo dì lù tú
你是走在茫无目标的路途
Off along an aimless road that soon must end

zhuī xún nà kōng xū měi mèng rú guāng zhào yào
追寻那空虚美梦如光照耀
Chasing and illusive dream that shines so fair

zhuǎn yǎn jiù quán xiāo shī
转眼就全消失
But when found, it isn't there.

wǒ míng bái nǐ wèi hé cháng bēi tàn péngyǒu
我明白你为何常悲叹朋友
I can understand your weary sigh, my friend

pàn nǐ néng huí zhuǎn dào zhǔ huái zhōng péng yǒu
盼你能回转到主怀中朋友
There, but the grace of God go I, my friend

lái ràng zhǔ yǐn dǎo nǐ zǒu wán rén shēng lù
来让主引导你走完人生路
Come and let Him lead you to your journey's end

ō kuài lái yǔ zhǔ tóng xíng zǒu
喔！快来与主同行走
Oh come along and walk with Him.

And before the face of God you'd stand, my friend,

你的空幻美梦能做些什么
What would your illusive dream avail you then?

哦 快来与主同行走
So come along and walk with Him.
