Acts of kindness, like breadcrumbs in a fairytale forest
Tindakan baik, seperti remah-remah roti di hutan dongeng
Lead us past dangers as light melts the darkness
Membawa kita melewati bahaya saat cahaya mencairkan kegelapan
But I don't believe, and I'm not consoled
Tapi aku tak percaya, dan aku tak terhibur
I lean closer to the fire, but I'm cold
Aku mendekat ke api, tapi aku tetap kedinginan

The earth was born in a storm
Bumi lahir dalam badai
The waters receded, the mountains were formed
Air surut, gunung-gunung terbentuk
"The universe loves a drama," you know
"Semesta suka drama," kau tahu
And ladies and gentlemen this is the show
Dan tuan-tuan dan nyonya-nyonya, inilah pertunjukannya

I got a call from my broker
Aku mendapat telepon dari pialangku
The broker informed me I'm broke
Pialang itu memberi tahu aku bahwa aku bangkrut
I was dealing my last hand of poker
Aku sedang membagikan kartu terakhirku dalam poker
My cards were useless as smoke
Kartu-kartuku tak berguna seperti asap

Oh, guardian angel
Oh, malaikat penjagaku
Don't taunt me like this, on a clear summer evening as soft as a kiss
Jangan ejek aku begini, di malam musim panas yang cerah selembut ciuman
My children are laughing, not a whisper of care
Anak-anakku tertawa, tanpa sepatah kata pun tentang kepedulian
My love is brushing her long chestnut hair
Cintaku menyisir rambut cokelat panjangnya
I don't believe a heart can be filled to the brim
Aku tak percaya hati bisa penuh hingga meluap
Then vanish like mist as though life were a whim
Lalu menghilang seperti kabut seolah hidup ini hanya keinginan

Maybe the heart is part of the mist
Mungkin hati adalah bagian dari kabut
And that's all that there is or could ever exist
Dan itu saja yang ada atau bisa ada
Maybe and maybe and maybe some more
Mungkin dan mungkin dan mungkin lagi
Maybe's the exit that I'm looking for
Mungkin adalah jalan keluar yang aku cari

I got a call from my broker
Aku mendapat telepon dari pialangku
The broker said he was mistaken
Pialang itu bilang dia salah
Maybe some virus or brokerage joke
Mungkin ada virus atau lelucon pialang
And he hopes that my faith isn't shaken
Dan dia berharap imanku tidak goyah

Acts of kindness
Tindakan baik
Like rain in a draught
Seperti hujan di musim kemarau
Release the spirit with a whoop and a shout
Melepaskan semangat dengan sorakan dan teriakan
I don't believe we were born to be sheep in a flock
Aku tak percaya kita lahir untuk menjadi domba dalam kawanan
To pantomime prayers with the hands of a clock
Untuk memerankan doa dengan tangan jam
