Confronted with a gravestone instead of a warm welcome, family photo traditions feel painfully empty.

Tahun lalu, berjuta alasanku
Last year, I had a million excuses
Maaf tak bisa pulang, penghasilanku pas-pasan
Apologizing for not coming home, barely making ends meet
Kali ini sudah lumayan
This time, things are a bit better
Berkat doamu, diijabah Sang Maha Kaya
Thanks to your prayers, answered by the Almighty
