第一小節：
I'm standing on the edge of the world
看著世界盡頭的邊緣
Looking down at all the tiny things
俯瞰著眾生萬物
And I'm thinking to myself
我思考著
How could I have ever been so blind?
我怎麼可能曾這麼失明？
副歌：

這就是班福克斯五的哲學
You gotta learn to let go of the world
你要學著放棄世界
If you want to keep it together
如果你想保持團結
It's like living on a spinning iceberg shelf
就像活在一個在冰山上漂移的冰架上
第二小節：
Everybody's got a little piece of sky
每個人都有一點天空的碎片
But not everyone's got a way to stay dry
但並不是所有人都有一個能保持乾燥的方式
And I'm thinking to myself
我思考著
How could I have ever been so shallow?
我怎麼可能曾這麼淺薄？

尾聲：
It's like a broken record skipping through the air

Gonna keep on keeping on, gonna keep on keeping on...
要繼續堅持下去，要繼續堅持下去...
