[Verse 1]
If we're so much the same like I always hear
Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some of us live in a cloud of fear
Some live behind iron gates
[Verse 2]
Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some are blessed and some are cursed
Some live behind iron gates
While others see only the worst
[Chorus]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
[Verse 3]
The golden one or scarred from birth
Some things can never be changed
Such a lot of pain on this earth
It's somehow so badly arranged
[Verse 4]
Some things can never be changed
Some reasons will never come clear
It's somehow so badly arranged
If we're so much the same like I always hear
[Chorus]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
Such a lot of pain on the earth
[Chorus]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others only see the worst
Such a lot of pain on the earth
Such a lot of pain
Such a lot of pain
Such a lot of pain on the earth
