We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak
But love and affection this family afforded me
Worries came early and often it seemed
Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed
Then compassion soon faded to chaos
As they did their best all the while
When circumstance outweighs intention
Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
I was young and I thought I knew everything
It's so hard to change a fool's mind
When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw
And you're full of inherited pride
But some lessons come harder than others
And some senses are harder to find
Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell
You'll still answer to those you defied
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pay for your lies
The sinners might pray for your problems
But the sinners won't look in your eye
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine
The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pray for your lies
The sinners might pay for your problems
But the sinner won't look in your eye
Nós nascemos no nada, duro até, por assim dizer
Mas o amor e carinho me proporcionou esta família
Preocupações chegaram cedo e muitas vezes parecia
Que o destino não foi agradável, ainda assim fui redimido
Então a compaixão logo se tornou caos
Como eles fizeram de melhor durante todo o tempo
Quando as circunstâncias superam a intenção
Às vezes, a montanha é simplesmente muito difícil de subir
Eles foram cruéis, eles eram ignorantes
Eles eram bonitos, eles foram gentis
Eles tiveram paciência, eles foram virtuosos
Eles estavam loucos, eles eram meus
Eu era jovem e pensava que sabia de tudo
É tão difícil mudar a mente de um tolo
Quando você é teimoso por natureza e rápido no gatilho
E você está cheio de orgulho herdado
Mas algumas lições são mais difíceis que outras
E alguns sentidos são mais difíceis de encontrar
Seus problemas não terminam quando você é salvo pelo gongo
Você ainda precisará responder para aqueles os quais desafiou
Eles foram cruéis, eles eram ignorantes
Eles eram bonitos, eles foram gentis
Eles tiveram paciência, eles foram virtuosos
Eles estavam loucos, eles eram meus
Os céus podem cantar seus louvores
Mas os céus não vão pagar por suas mentiras
Os pecadores podem orar por seus problemas
Mas os pecadores não irão olhar nos seus olhos
Eles estavam loucos, eles eram meus
Eles foram cruéis, eles eram ignorantes
Eles eram bonitos, eles foram gentis
Eles tiveram paciência, eles foram virtuosos
Eles estavam loucos, eles eram meus
Eles foram cruéis, eles eram ignorantes
Eles eram bonitos, eles foram gentis
Eles tiveram paciência, eles foram virtuosos
Eles estavam loucos, eles eram meus
Os céus podem cantar seus louvores
Mas os céus não vão pagar por suas mentiras
Os pecadores podem orar por seus problemas
Mas os pecadores não irão olhar nos seus olhos
