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 to Jah,
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 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.

Love no longer smiles.
