When The Children Cry


中学时期一开始接触摇滚乐,就被震慑住了。

有别于中文流行歌曲的风花雪月,8090年代红极一时的西方摇滚乐团歌词都很有启发性。怀念有White Lion Metallica Damn Yankees Scorpions firehouse等乐团陪伴的日子,怀念当时在摇滚乐反叛精神的日子。不说或许你不知道,其实这些看似狂野的摇滚乐团专辑里只要有一两首抒情歌曲,就必 都容易成为经典,叫人百听不厌。例如Metallica UnforgivenDamn Yankees Where You Going Now Firehouse Love of a Lifetime Extreme More Than Word 当然还有White Lion When The Children Cry

我非常喜欢这首歌,歌词叫人动容。希望你也喜欢。 





little child
dry your crying eyes
how can I explain
the fear you feel inside
cause you were born
into this evil world
where man is killing man
and no one knows just why
what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again

when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

little child
you must show the way
to a better day
for all the young
cause you were born
for all the world to see
that we all can live
with love and peace
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god

when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god

when the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins
