And you can't provide

Bend once again now to your will, I must obey

There's a place on the hill where I'm going

Every night to survive from the fight

To make a wish to the wind that is blowing

Knowing that two wrongs won't make it right
A recognition that revenge or wrongdoing won't solve problems.
If the face of a stranger can make your
The influence of a stranger's face on emotional healing.
Little heart feel again for a while
A temporary respite for the heart.
Give a chance for yourself: Heal the sore

Unless I slay the snake
To find relief, the source of the problem must be eliminated.
I'm barely safe and sound

In hate I nearly drowned
Almost drowning in hatred.
All the things you lied to me, You don't recall
Unpleasant truths or lies that the other person doesn't remember.
I need to dream again
A desire to dream again, suggesting a loss of hope.
Walk on now with the stain
Continuing forward despite past mistakes.
Be proud of who I am. Say: I will not crawl
Choosing to be proud and refusing to submit.
There's a place on the hill where I'm going
Repetition of the refuge on the hill for survival.
Every night to survive from the fight
Nightly return to the hill to endure life's struggles.
To make a wish to the wind that is blowing
Making wishes despite the challenges represented by the blowing wind.

If the face of a stranger can make your
A stranger's face can briefly revive emotions.

They do not smile
Reaffirming that the dead do not smile.
The dead don't smile
Emphasizing once more that the dead do not smile.
