To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?
To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?

No love remains, no parents' embrace,
No love remains, no parents' embrace,
No kin to call our own.
Dear soul, no kin to call our own.
To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?
To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?

These streets, they are our mother now,
These streets, they are our mother now,
The lamp of father’s love,
The lamp of father’s love,
The lamp of father’s love,
The lamp of father’s love,
Shunned, cast away, deemed unclean,
Shunned, cast away, deemed unclean,
They cast us out, dear soul, they cast us out,
To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?
To whose gate shall we now turn?
To whose gate, dear soul, shall we now turn?

Though all the world's religions gather,
Though all the world’s joys convene,
Though kingdoms rise and fall apart,
And heaven's golden gates they gleam,
Let my parents stand, forever, with me.
