Verse 1
I wish you a roof over your head
May your house be a home, your table loaded with bread
May you sleep calmly, the whole night
May the love of your life wait for you
I wish you enough to carry on
That you find wealth in getting by on little
I wish you full days
And free time
Verse 1
With children around you, until the end
Chorus 1
A wall for the wind
And a fire for the cold
A coat for the rain
And a friend near you
A wall for the wind
And a fire for the cold
A coat for the rain
And a friend near you
Verse 2
I wish you peace for who you are
That you laugh and cry with everyone you know
That love will fill your heart
In every season you live
Chorus 2
A wall for the wind
And a fire for the cold
A coat for the rain
And a friend near you
A wall for the wind
And a fire for the cold
A coat for the rain
And a friend near you
Outro
I'll shield you from the wind
And find you a shelter
Outro
At night I'll build a fire so you won't get scared
In the dark I'll walk beside you like a faithful angel
I'm here, we'll travel together, all your life long

SONG MEANING

Imagine someone wrapping you in the coziest blanket of wishes: a sturdy roof overhead, fresh bread on the table, peaceful sleep, and the promise of true love waiting just around the corner. Ik Wens Jou is Trinity’s heartfelt blessing set to music, where each verse feels like a handwritten postcard filled with life’s simplest yet richest treasures. She sings of homes that feel like havens, days bursting with purpose, and evenings lit by crackling fires that chase away the chill.

More than a lullaby, the song is a universal prayer for protection, friendship, and contentment. Trinity layers everyday comforts—a wall against the wind, a coat in the rain, a loyal friend at your side—with deeper wishes: peace in your identity, joy shared with others, and love that lasts through every season. By the final lines she steps into the role of guardian angel, promising to stand beside you for life. It’s an uplifting reminder that true wealth isn’t measured in money, but in shelter, warmth, companionship, and the freedom to live and love without fear.
