歌词
These are the days of the open hand
这是人们伸出慷慨援手的时代
They will not be the last
它不会就此终止
Look around now
看看你的四周
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
这时代充满着乞讨和挑拣的人
This is the year of the hungry man
这是有人饥贫交迫的年代
Whose place is in the past
他们的家园不复存在
Hand in hand with ignorance
手挽手 茫然无知
And legitimate excuses
伴着那些合理的借口
The rich declare themselves poor
富人们自称贫穷
And most of us are not sure
而我们大部分中的也并不肯定
If we have too much
是否已拥有了太多
But we'll take our chances
但我们愿意碰碰运气
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
因为上帝已然有所松懈
I guess somewhere along the way
我猜在某个时刻某个地方
He must have let us all out to play
他定然是放任我们外出自由玩耍
Turned his back and all God's children
不留神背过身 而所有上帝的孩子们
Crept out the back door
便从后门爬出
And it's hard to love' there's so much to hate
太难去爱 太多可憎
Hanging on to hope
紧紧握住希望
When there is no hope to speak of
但已无希望可言
And the wounded skies above say
受伤的天空在上说
it's much too late
一切已经太迟太迟
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
那么或许我们都应该 祈祷多一点时间
These are the days of the empty hand
这是双手空空的时代
Oh you hold on to what you can
而你应该继续做你所能
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
慈善可以不过是一件你偶尔穿穿的大衣
This is the year of the guilty man
这是罪人们的时代
Your television takes a stand
你的电视也选择了立场
And you find that what was over there is over here
你会发现发生在那头的也发生在身旁
So you scream from behind your door
于是你躲在门后嘶声尖叫
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
喊着我的就是我的 不是你的
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
或许我拥有了太多但我愿意碰碰运气
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
因为上帝已然有所松懈
And you cling to the things they sold you
你紧紧抓住那些他们卖给你的东西
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
你是否遮起了双眼 当他们告诉你
That he can't come back
他再也回不来了
'Cause he has no children to come back for
因为他的孩子们也已不在
It's hard to love there's so much to hate
太难去爱 太多可憎
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
紧握着希望 但已无希望可言
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
受伤的天空在上 说一切已经太迟太迟
So maybe we should all be praying for time
那么或许我们都应该 祈祷多一点时间
