Or we can find a better way to shop and please and I
或者找到一個更好的方式去打開枷鎖
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys and I
所有人都冰釋前嫌
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze
問一問我們為什麼會滿足於這些沒落的語言
And ask way are we fulfillin' these downfalls and prophecies
如果這正是你的疑問，那麼你錯了
You can be wrong if it's you doubting
心中有信念，力大可移山
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains
只有那神父能減輕傷痛
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt
讓我們繼續前行祈禱
Just let it go and keep prayin' on
