歌词
I'm not afraid of the black man running
我可不惧怕黑人游行示威
He's got it right he's got a better life coming
他所做的一切并无大错 都是为了迎接更好的人生
我可不在乎首长的长篇大论
I don't care what the captain said
我漫不经心的将它叠起来放在头顶
我在来往的国贸货运中迷了视线
I fold it right at the top of my head
心向往之 我来到了杰克逊城
噢 凯勒!(指作家Helen Keller)
I lost my sight and the state packs in
是她给了我们纪念章和地图
I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jackson
噢 罐头厂街!(作家Johnsteinbeck的小说《cannery row》)
如果是亲眼所见,务必看看你所处之地
Oh Keller oh oh oh
我可不害怕尼克尔公园
我在天黑后乘着火车 遁着黑夜的步伐
She gave us a medal she gave us a map
我不害怕刚好抵达
我调转方向 试着开启又一场未知之旅
Oh Canner Row oh oh oh
我有话直说 吐露真心
If seeing is right then look where you're at
坐着演奏台的椅子 加入了杜威日游行
我虽已过了黄金时期
I'm not afraid of Nichol's Park
勇气剧增 初心也未曾改变
I ride the train and I ride it after dark
噢 凯勒!
她给了我们历史的镜子和指引方向的地图
I'm not afraid to get it right
噢 罐头厂街!
如果是亲眼所见,务必看看你所处之地
I turn around and I give it one more try
我向安德鲁. 杰克森总统发问(美国第七任总统 佛罗里达州首任州长)
给我们看看车轮 斟上上好的美酒
I said things that I meant to say
欢呼-----
The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day parade
升起巨大的横幅 扬起杰克逊的铁锤
众人来到国会大厦所在的那条街
I go out to the golden age
欢呼-----
有色皮肤的传教士 真开心能在这里遇见你
The spirit is right and the spirit doesn't change
斗志已经燃起 勇气依然如初
欢呼--------
Oh Keller oh oh oh
根深蒂固的教育 向国家发问
你让我们看清未来 耳闻即为所见
She gave us mirror she gave us a map
欢呼-------
我向安德鲁.杰克森总统发问
Oh Canner Row oh oh oh
给我们前进的车轮 为我们斟上上好的美酒
If seeing is right then look where you're at
Andrew Jackson all I'm asking
Show us the wheel and give us the wine
Woohoo woohoo
Raise the banner Jackson hammer
Everyone goes to the capitol line
Woohoo woohoo
Colored preacher nice to meet you
The spirit is here and the spirit is fine
Woohoo woohoo
Education ask the nation
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine
Woohoo woohoo
Andrew Jackson all I'm asking
Give us the wheel and give us the wine
