Slept out in the shed all alone 睡在工棚独自一人

And all he ever wanted was some friends of his own 凡他所想要的是他自己的一些朋友

A few hands saved him, took him in and raised him 几手牌救了他，把他养他

Taught him about love and struggle and patience 教他关于爱情和斗争和耐心

Gave him the family comfort he was cravin 给他的家人安慰他渴求

He worked when they work and he sang when they sang 他工作时，他们的工作和他唱的时候，他们唱

He sang so clear and so loud 他唱得那么清晰，那么响

In those last moments, a few words were spoke 在那最后的时刻，几句话是辐

"I used to peak at this old house in awe “我以前在高峰这老房子的敬畏

Imaginin what it must be like and all Imaginin它必须像所有

And this the finest spread these eyes ever saw 而这个最好的传播这些眼睛见过

But I don't mind sayin I feel sorry for y'all 但我不介意的意思，我觉得对不起你们

All that gettin, so little givin 所有这一切刚开，所以很少得到安宁

Led a lot of y'all to forget what's missin 带动了不少你们都忘了什么是想念

Built you a big pretty prison to sit in 你建一个大的很牢坐

Strut around here, convinced that that's livin 支撑在这里，相信这就是活着

But we gonna keep on singin 但是，我们该怎么继续嬉春

Keep on solderin, keep on buildin 继续回流焊，不断buildin
