I see them gathered, see them on the shore

我看到他们聚集过来，看到他们在海岸边

I turned to look once more

我转过身再看一眼

And he who knows me not

接着 来了位不认识我的人

Takes me to the belly of darkness

带我进入黑暗深处

The tears run swift and hard

眼泪迅疾而猛烈地流淌着

And when they fall

而当他们跌倒

Even, even the comfort of a stone

即使是一颗石头

Would be a gain

也会如此

There was a time when I thought

我曾一度想过

I would have to give up

我可能会不得不放弃

But I'm thankful that I'm

但我是如此感激自己

Strong as I am and I'll

感谢自己如此坚强

Try to do the best I can

我将尽我所能

Tears will run swift

眼泪快速滴落

And tears will come that fall like rain

如骤雨般倾泻

I pray that it's swift though

我祈祷眼泪足够迅疾

Tears will fall as cold as pain

和疼痛一样冷酷地滴落

I pray to the almighty

我想上天祈祷

Let me not to him do

As he has unto me

Teach my beloved children

Who have been enslaved

To reach for the light continually
