Twelve months a year, a year of twelve moons,
Twelve months a year, a year of twelve moons.
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
Oh, how did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
Twelve months a year, a year of twelve moons.
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?

Let someone tell me why, this life, I can't understand, why,
Let someone tell me why, this life, I can't understand, why.
One color comes, another fades, one color comes, another fades,
My limbs now blue, now yellow, sometimes red I find,
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
Oh, oh, how did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?

I fear the ankle bells' soft chime,
Eyes downcast, consumed by shame's climb.
I fear the ankle bells' soft chime,
Eyes downcast, consumed by shame's climb.
I now walk, halting, a step at a time,
I now walk, halting, a step at a time.
Walking, lest the wicked one should kiss my cheek,
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?

What's happening, with you, my love, these bangled hands of thine?
What's happening, with you, my love, these bangled hands of thine?
Days and nights pursuing you, pursuing you divine,
Days and nights pursuing you, pursuing you divine,
What will happen, if a few more days, you remain like this, my own?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
Twelve months a year, a year of twelve moons.
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, your steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, my steps have shifted tunes?
How did this year feel, O Lord, your steps have shifted tunes?
