All Along
I was sittin' on the back porch in my mama's arms
staring out into the silence of the stars
wishing hard for things to come
to grow up and be someone
to be anywhere than where I was
always reaching out for something I could never have
always feeling discontent and incomplete
but I was loved
all along
I had joy, I had peace
it was here with me
all along
all along
we were singing to the beatles on the radio
we were driving with the windows all rolled down
eating french fries in the car
money was tight and times were hard
but I'd give anything to be there now
i always thought that happiness was just around the bend
and everything I dreamed of was just out of reach
but I was loved
all along
I had joy, I had peace
it was here with me
all along
all along
Sempre Amado
Eu estava sentado na varanda nos braços da minha mãe
olhando para o silêncio das estrelas
desejando com força que as coisas chegassem
crescer e ser alguém
estar em qualquer lugar menos onde eu estava
sempre buscando algo que eu nunca poderia ter
sempre me sentindo insatisfeito e incompleto
mas eu fui amado
sempre amado
eu tinha alegria, eu tinha paz
estava aqui comigo
sempre amado
sempre amado
nós estávamos cantando Beatles no rádio
estávamos dirigindo com as janelas abertas
comendo batata frita no carro
a grana estava curta e os tempos eram difíceis
mas eu daria tudo para estar lá agora
eu sempre pensei que a felicidade estava logo ali na esquina
e tudo que eu sonhei estava fora de alcance
mas eu fui amado
sempre amado
eu tinha alegria, eu tinha paz
estava aqui comigo
sempre amado
sempre amado
