I spent half my life on bended knee 我花了半辈子屈膝

Begging somebody to change 乞求某人改变

And the other half prayin' to God 而另一半祈祷上帝

That they never would 他们永远不会

   

And all it got me was twice as lost 而所有这让我加倍地损失

When it all turned out the same 当这一切竟然是相同的

But all that beggin' finally did somebody good 但是，所有的开始终于有人做了很好的

   

I used to dream all night 我曾经梦想整夜

Of the day that was gone 这是走了一天

But come the mornin' light 但到了早上，光

Forever from now on 永远从现在开始

   

Gonna do my dreamin' 怎么办我的梦中情人

With my eyes wide open 我的眼睛睁

I'll do my looking back 我会尽我回头看

With my eyes closed 我闭着眼睛

   

We can do some livin' 我们可以做一些活着

Or spend our whole life hopin' 或者用我们的一生河滨

'Cause in the end we're left with “原因在我们剩下的结束

The one we chose 我们选择了一个

   

So, I'll do my dreaming 所以，我会尽我的梦

With my eyes wide open 我的眼睛睁

   

Every time the world moved on 每当世界上移动

I fell a little further behind í落后远一点

From runnin' back 从飞奔回

Or followin' someone home 或者跟随着别人家

   

Till I learned that one step forward 直到我得知了一步

Will take you further on 将带您进一步上

Than a thousand back 千余回

Or a million that ain't your own 或一百万，是不是你自己
