When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do No matter when or where or who
Ha
s one thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame
For everything I
long to do No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin (Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres,
quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea
culpa, mea maxima culpa) [trans. "I confess to almighty god,
and to you my brothers, t
hat I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission, through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]
