When i was a little boy I didn't know what's right or wrong

I had to change my way of life but I just couldn't win the fight

I'd let myself float off in time and hide



Another day, another night

I lived off dreams I thought was right

I couldn't stand being treated like I was the only without rights

stood there screaming at your vice and cried



The way you loved me is not always what we call love

waiting now

beautiful pain, beautiful pain

beautiful pain, beautiful pain

beautiful



In the dirt and in my soil

they said they planted seeds of joy

I was unholy born in sin so they fed me words of lead within

Then I looked down on myself in shame left with the blame



The way you loved me is not always what we call love

wait till night

beautiful pain, beautiful pain

beautiful pain, beautiful pain

beautiful pain, beautiful pain



Mother, father listen up I know these times were kind of rough

we waited for the leaders' hand to guide our lives , it's kind of sad

and you just did what you though was right and I cried



Beautiful pain, beautiful pain

Beautiful pain, beautiful pain

Beautiful pain, beautiful pain

beautiful pain,beautiful pain

beautiful pain
