Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm walkin' in a land where keepin' your commands
Gets backs turned on me
I'm juggling wills it's my flesh I wanna kill
But then the world won't want me
Like a prodigal son You let me run
'Cause somehow you knew
At the end of the day the applause would fade
And I'd run back to the truth
Being loved by the world is overrated
Think I'd rather be hated for loving You
You say in this meantime
I should set my mind on things above
Where my forever is, where my treasure is
Where I measure up
So I'm trading in this chasin' the wind
Just to walk with You
So let 'em throw their stones, I won't be alone
No, this won't be nothing new
'Cause being loved by the world is overrated
I think I'd rather be hated for loving You
Who loved me first
Like nothing here on earth
Being loved
By the world
Is overrated
So overrated
I think I'd rather be hated for loving You
Oh, yeah
Lord, I don't mind being hated for loving You
For loving You
