Lyrics by：Ryan Tedder/Brent Kutzle
Composed by：Ryan Tedder/Brent Kutzle
When I was a kid
记得在天真的童年里
I used to buy and sell gravity
地心引力曾唯我所控
I knew how to fly
我知道飞翔的秘诀
And I would teach you for a fee
给点好处我便会教你
Broke every window
心灵像一间旅馆
In my hotel heart
飞翔时撞破了每一扇窗
When I was only five years old the twelve years scarred
虽才年仅五岁，却已像少年般满身是伤
And I'd hear the same voice
总是听到同样的声音
Echo in my mind
在我的脑中不断回响
Said son you got an angel
他说孩子你心中的天使
To chase the devil at night
会在黑夜中为你消灾避祸
When I was a kid
在我还年幼时
My grandfather was a preacher
祖父是名牧师
He'd talk about God
常谈神的奥义
Yeah he was something like a teacher
如同一位良师
He said God only helps those
他总是教我
Who learn to help themselves
天助自助者
He was a million miles from a million dollars
虽然他离腰缠万贯相去万里
But you can never spend his wealth
却留给了我无尽的精神财富
I took a little faith
我原本心存一丝信念
And put it in a parking lot
并把它放在了停车场
I drove to a strange town
驶进那光怪陆离的城市
Full of have and have nots
人人都为了物质而挣扎
And as I walk through that storybook life
一路走来，事过境迁，所见之景，不断变换
I'll be looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night
我却始终在寻找着黑夜中的守护天使
Oh oh oh
When I was a kid
在我还年幼时
My grandfather was a preacher
祖父是名牧师
He'd talk about love
常谈爱的奥义
Yeah he was something like a teacher
如同一位良师
He said God only helps those
他总是教我
Who learn to help themselves
天助自助者
He was a million miles from a million dollars
虽然他离腰缠万贯相去万里
But you can never spend his wealth
却留给了我无尽的精神财富
Wave
挥舞你的双手
Put your hands up and hands down
高举后再落下
Wave
挥舞你的双手
Put your hands up and hands down
高举后再落下
Wave
挥舞你的双手
Put your hands up and hands down
高举后再落下
When I was a kid
在我还年幼时
My grandfather was a preacher
祖父是名牧师
He'd talk about life
常谈人生奥义
Something like a teacher
如同一位良师
He said God only helps those
他总是教我
Who learn to help themselves
天助自助者
He was a million miles from a million dollars
虽然他离腰缠万贯相去万里
But you can never spend his wealth
却留给了我无尽的精神财富
When I was a kid
在我还年幼时

地心引力曾唯我所控
When I was a kid
在我还年幼时
When I was a kid
