Текст песни: In the Hearts of Men + перевод

In the hearts of men

In the arms of mothers

And the parts we play

To convince others

We know what we’re doing

And we’re doing it right

You may have written books on the subject

But then you may still be surprised

By your tone over the phone

To your sister while waiting in line

At the shopping mall just outside of town

In the hands of teachers

In the books you read

And the things we say

When we’ve lost the lead

I still try to speak up

When my voice won’t make a sound

And I’ve thought it over, too many times

But when there is no use, and the lights are all out

I just give it up and I walk home

Past the shopping mall that’s just closing down

But what you tell yourself you are must be what you’ll be

Who’s to say who is who and what is what if you simply don’t agree

Now time will come to claim you and it will have its way

Don’t make no mistakes and don’t regret, don’t waste the time that is left

And then, do it all, with a goddamn smile

In the hearts of men

In the arms of mothers

And the parts we play

To convince others
