歌词
孩子只想送给妈妈一些东西
The boy only wanted to give Mother something
她种的玫瑰开得正艳
And all of her roses had bloomed
他看着妈妈，冲进屋里
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them
心想妈妈的玫瑰遭殃了
Knowing her roses were doomed
而妈妈只看见孩子手里扎着刺
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
还有她挑刺时，孩子脸上的泪花
And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds
她知道这是爱
And she knew it was love
她懂得
It was one she could understand
孩子在表达他的爱
He was showing his love
因此才弄伤了手
And that's how he hurt his hands
他依然记得那个童年的夜晚
He still remembers that night as child
坐在妈妈腿上
On his mother's knee
妈妈抱着他，打开了她的《圣经》
She held him close and she opened her bible
轻轻地读给他听
And quietly started to read
看到耶稣的受难图，孩子叫到
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
“妈妈，他手上的疤跟我的一样”
"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."
他知道这是爱
And he knew it was love
他懂得
It was one he could understand
耶稣在表达爱
He was showing his love
因此才弄伤了手
And that's how he hurt his hands

孩子长大后搬了出去
Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own
那时美国刚刚诞生
When Uncle Sam comes along
战争打响，年轻人们拿起武器
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
后来命运选中了他
And luck had his number drawn
没过多久，我们的英雄永远离开了
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone
从耶稣那里学来的东西，他交给了朋友
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
但他们知道那是爱
But they knew it was love
他们懂得
It was one they could understand
他在表达爱
He was showing his love
因此才弄伤了手
And that's how he hurt his hands
他们懂得
他在表达爱
It was one they could understand
因此才弄伤了手
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands
