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
