I sat me down to write a simple story 我坐在我失望写一个简单的故事

which maybe in the end became a song 这可能最终成为一首歌曲

In trying to find the words which might begin it 在试图寻找可能开始它的话

I found these were the thoughts I brought along 我发现这些都是我带沿的想法

At first I took my weight to be an anchor 起初，我把我的体重是一个锚

and gathered up my fears to guide me round 并收集了我的恐惧，引导我圆

but then I clearly saw my own delusion 但我清楚地看到了自己的妄想

and found my struggles further bogged me down 发现我的斗争进一步陷入我失望

In starting out I thought to go exploring 在起步的我还以为去探索

and set my foot upon the nearest road 而在最近的路把我的脚

In vain I looked to find the promised turning 白白我看了看，找到许转折点

but only saw how far I was from home 但只看到多远我是从家里

In searching I forsook the paths of learning 在寻找我没有离弃学习路径

and sought instead to find some pirate's gold 并要求，而不是找一些海盗的黄金

In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me 在战斗我没有伤害那些最亲爱的我

and still no hidden truths could I unfold 仍然没有隐藏的真相我能展开

I sat me down to write a simple story 我坐在我失望写一个简单的故事

which maybe in the end became a song 这可能最终成为一首歌曲

The words have all been writ by one before me 这些话都在我面前都被令状一

We're taking turns in trying to pass them on 我们轮流在试图通过他们的

Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on 哦，我们轮流在试图通过他们的
