Lyrics

[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
[Verse 3]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others see only the worst
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
[Verse 4]
Whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa
[Verse 5]
The golden one or scarred from birth
Somethings can never be changed
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
It's somehow so badly arranged
[Verse 6]
Somethings 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
[Verse 7]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others see only the worst
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
[Verse 8]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others see only the worst
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
[Verse 9]
Whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa
[Verse 10]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others see only the worst
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
[Verse 11]
Some are blessed and some are cursed
The golden one or scarred from birth
While others see only the worst
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
[Verse 12]
Such a lot of pain
Such a lot of pain
Such a lot of pain on the Earth
