Blood dribbled it's way by my face,
In little droplets it fell on the road,
One eye closed another opened, I stared at the open dark night sky, struggling to breathe and stand up,
For the first time in my life, I thanked God.
The car shattered, the shards of little glasses stuck inside my body,
I was shivering and shocked, in the dark night of the city, I looked at myself in the broken glass and felt happy being alive,
Only my parents and sister came to my mind, no friends, no acquaintances nor any old crushes,
For the first time in all these years I felt presence of God.
I never believed in God, but something saved me from a something that day,
Might be god, higher spirit or what, I didn't know,
Whatever it was, it guided me in the most fearful scenarios to stay calm and collected,
There was something that day with me, and because of that presence I am alive.
Ever since that incident, everyday I am thankful to god,
Ever since that day, everyday I am thankful to you,
Ever since that day, everyday I am happy to be alive.
