Duduk sendirian di kursi rockin tua aku melihat seorang ibu tua dengan rambut keperakan
She seemed so neglected by those who should care rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Dia tampak begitu terbengkalai oleh orang-orang yang seharusnya peduli sendirian di kursi rockin tua
Her hands were caloused and wrinckled and old
Tangannya dibalut, kusut dan tua
A life full of hard work were the story they told
Hidup yang penuh dengan kerja keras adalah cerita yang mereka ceritakan
And I've thought of angels as I saw her there rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Dan aku telah memikirkan malaikat saat melihatnya di sana sendirian di atas kursi rockin tua
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain
Memberkati hatinya yang lama, apakah menurut Anda dia akan mengeluh
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
Meski hidup telah pahit dia akan menjalaninya lagi
And carry the cross that is more than her share rockin' alone in an old rockin' chair
Dan bawa salib itu lebih dari sekedar berbagi kulitnya sendiri di kursi rockin tua
(It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
(Tidak butuh banyak hanya untuk menghibur hatinya
Just some small re-embrace on somebody's heart)
Hanya beberapa pelukan kecil di hati seseorang)
A letter would brighten her empty heart there rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Sebuah surat akan mencerahkan hati kosongnya yang ada di atas kursi rockin tua
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
Saya mengenal beberapa anak muda di sebuah rumah yatim piatu
Would think they owned heaven if she were their own
Akan mengira mereka memiliki surga jika dia milik mereka sendiri
They'd never be willing till let her sit there rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Mereka tidak akan pernah rela membiarkannya duduk di sana sendirian di atas kursi rockin tua
I look at her and I think what a shame
Aku menatapnya dan aku rasa sayang sekali
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
Orang-orang yang melupakannya sama-sama mencintai
And I think of angels as I see her there rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Dan aku memikirkan malaikat saat melihatnya di sana sendirian di atas kursi rockin tua
Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
Bergoyang sendirian di kursi rockin tua
