Take your mother's pain

And take your father's grief

Never let them change

And never set them free

No you can't be hurt

You're a golden child of God.

Lift that heavy load

Your sweat will turn to blood

Your story seldom told

Never fall in love

No, you can't be hurt

You're a golden child of God.

Your eyes are swollen

Your eyes are swollen and sleepless

Those dreams of torment

Those dreams of torment and madness

Help your fellow man

Your cause is great and good

Temple made of sand

No trace of where it stood

No you can't be hurt

You're a golden child of God.

Your eyes are swollen

Your eyes are swollen and sleepless

Those dreams of torment

Those dreams of torment and madness

Take your mother's pain

And take your father's grief

Never let them change

And never set them free

No you can't be hurt

You're a golden child of God.
