When I was a boy:

I asked God for wisdom, and I've been suffering ever since.
I asked God for knowledge, and I've been learning ever since.
I asked God for understanding, and I've been thinking ever since.

When I became a man:

I asked God for patience, and I’ve been waiting ever since.
I asked God for love, and I've been growing ever since.
I asked God for light, and I've reflected ever since.
I asked God for integrity, and I've been testing ever since.
I asked God for death, and I've been living ever since.

Then:

I asked God for peace, and I've been accepting ever since.
I asked God for freedom, and I've been flowing ever since.
I asked God for clarity, and I've had vision ever since.
I asked God for purpose, and I've been working ever since.
I asked God for wealth, and I've been building ever since.
I asked God for opportunities, and I've been seizing ever since.
I asked God for help, and We've been connecting ever since.
