歌词与中文翻译
Raise me straight and raise me true
将我培养正直，育以真实
Spent my days becoming you
花尽我的一生变成你
Sunday morning, evening too
无论礼拜早上，夜晚也如此
Sitting in your second pew
你坐在教堂的第二排长椅上
Torn apart, my spirits spent
崩奔离析，我的灵魂已疲惫
I fell in love on accident
我无意地感受了到爱情
Wondered just what Jesus meant
思索耶稣的这句话是何解
When he said all love was Heaven sent
当他说一切的爱都是天赐之物
爸爸，我不需要牧师来纠正
Papa I don't need a preacher
我并非那种受造于古时双重性格的生物
I ain't some kind of creature from some old double feature
I just want to make you proud of the kind of love I've found
我只是想让你为我寻找到的这份爱感到骄傲
But you say it ain’t allowed
你却说这样做不被允许
Say that its a sin
说这是一种罪
But it's how I've always been
可我一直都是如此
Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
当他只是我普通朋友时，你才会爱我吗？
尽了力地去抗拒
Tried my hardest not to be
我把心门紧锁住毁掉了钥匙
I locked the door and I broke the key
耶稣牺牲在那十字架上
Jesus died upon that tree
父亲你是否觉得他也会爱护我
Daddy do you think he'd cover me
无论肤色是红是黄 或黑或白
Red and yellow black and white
我们都是上帝眼中的珍宝
We are precious in His sight
那么为何我依旧在夜里辗转反侧
So why can't I sleep through the night?
父亲你觉得我的表现是否正确
Daddy do you think I've turned out right?
爸爸，我不需要牧师来纠正
我并非那种受造于古时双重性格的生物
Papa, I don't need a preacher
我只是想让你为我寻找到的这份爱感到骄傲
I ain't some kind of creature from some old double-feature
你却说这样做不被允许
I just wanna make you proud of the kind of love I've found
说这是一种罪
Well you say it ain’t allowed
可我一直都是如此
You say that it's a sin
当他只是我普通朋友时，你才会爱我吗？
But it's how I've always been.
爸爸啊，是你告诉我
Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
因耶稣饱受鞭笞才拯救了我，而籍由他的血将我罪行赎去
父亲，你才是声称耶稣会不顾火烧爱着我的那个人
Papa, you're the one that taught me
现在，你能像那样爱我吗？
By His stripes He sought me, and with His blood He bought me
我已获得重生
Daddy, you're the one that claimed that He'd love me through the flame
然而出生时我本有罪
Now, can't you do the same?
这样你还爱我么？
I've been born again
这样你还会爱我么？
But I first was born in sin
Did you love me then?
Did you love me then?
