It Seemed the Better Way

It Seemed the Better Way 歌词
Seemed the better way
这似乎是更好的方式
When first I heard him speak
在最先听他布道之时
Now it's much too late
但现在这已经太晚了
To turn the other cheek
如果我们再想要忍让
Sounded like the truth
这听上去的确是事实
Seemed the better way
也似乎是更好的方式
Sounded like the truth
这听上去确实是真理
But it's not the truth today
但这真理不属于今日
I wonder what it was
我疑惑过真相是什么
I wonder what it meant
我怀疑过这有何深意
First he touched on love
最先他向我们谈到爱
Then he touched on death
然后他也谈到了死亡
Sounded like the truth
这听上去的确是事实
Seemed the better way
也似乎是更好的方式
Sounded like the truth
这听上去确实是真理
But it's not the truth today
但这真理不属于今日
I better hold my tongue
我最好选择沉默不言
I better take my place
我应该继续尽我本职
Lift this glass of blood
让我们举起这杯圣血
Try to say the grace
让我们一起歌颂仁慈
