10.The Other Side
另一边

I stood on the edge of 8 years old
站在岁月边缘 那时我即将八岁
On a mountain top in Minnesota
跋山涉水 在明尼苏达州的山巅
Behind my old grade school
从老旧的母校毕业
We'd steady our nerve and take a breath
我们已经平复了焦虑 深呼吸
Throwing ourselves to certain death
仿佛我们必将堕入死亡
But the kings of the hill must fight to keep their rule
但山巅众神为信守原则而拯救了我们
.
.
I went back there a couple years ago
多年前我重回那里
That mountain was twenty feet tall
山峦唯有二十英尺高
.
.
Skip to the scene where I was sixteen
十六岁的我跃向这风景

轮流等待上摩天轮
Taking my turn on the tilt-a-whirl
握着一个深棕瞳色女孩的手
Holding the hand of a brown eyed girl
我曾以为她是我命中注定的爱人
I thought would be the one
旅程变得艰难 我们被迫别离
When the ride got rough we were torn apart
高速的旋转骤然停止 如同一颗破碎的心
The spinning stopped like a broken heart
眨眼间她已如烟
I blinked and she was gone
.
.
我感到我自己 是世界尽头的残船
I felt shipwrecked at the edge of the world
但爱卷土重来
But love came and found me again
.
.
在世界的另一边 我能轻易看见这条路
On the other side, where it's easier to see the way
上帝及时伸出双手 救赎了我
His hand provides just in time to save the day
我意识到我怯于攀登的那些山峦
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
并非我想象中的那样高大耸峙
Aren't as big as I thought they were
当我在另一面思考时
When I'm on the other side
.
.
生活暗淡无光时 我跃向这风景

久久伫立直到晨光初现
Skip to the scene where I'm on my knees
捉襟见肘时亦尝试着相信
Holding on 'til the morning light
不可名状的希望熠熠生辉
Trying to trust when the money's tight
等候室中的纵横字谜
In a hope I can't explain
祈祷回音速来
Crossword puzzles in the waiting room
以填补所有空白
Praying for an answer soon
.
To fill in all the blanks
但我以来过多次
.
爱总是协我渡过难关
But I've been here many times before
.
And love's always carried me through
在世界的另一边 我能轻易看见这条路
.
上帝及时伸出双手 救赎了我
To the other side, where it's easier to see the way
我意识到我怯于攀登的那些山峦
His hand provides just in time to save the day
并非我想象中的那样高大耸峙
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
当我在另一面思考时
Aren't as big as I thought they were
.
When I'm on the other side
多少次 我注定要去证明
.
我无法独揽一切
How many times am I destined to prove
但自由因仁慈而降临
I can't do this all on my own
在上帝的宝座前站立
But there is freedom in failing and finding his mercy
我亦非自己想象的一般强大
And standing in front of his throne
.
I'm not as big as I thought I was
所以我不再胆怯
.
无论如今的刀山火海
So I won't be afraid
山神会引领着我
No matter what the trouble is I see today
引领我走过另一边无际的黑暗
The maker of the mountains, He will make a way
.
To lead me through the darkness to the other side…
我能轻易看见这条路之处
.
上帝及时伸出双手 救赎了我
Where it's easier to see the way
我意识到我怯于攀登的那些山峦
His hand provides just in time to save the day
并非我想象中的那样高大耸峙
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
当我在另一面思考时
Aren't as big as I thought they were
.
When I'm on the other side
我们人生度过的每一段篇章

已教会我去信任你
.
耶稣的教徒再次点醒我使我 醍醐灌顶
Every chapter that we've been through
Has taught me to rely on you
Jesus teach me that again
