Your prison is walking through this world all alone
(然而，你一生的枷鎖，就是孤單)

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
(冬天一個人在被窩裡，你一雙大冰腳是不是整夜發冷呢？)

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

You're loosin' all your highs and lows

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
(也許會下雨，但是彩虹也會出現)

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
