Love Me If You Can

sometimes i think that war is necessary
有時我想戰爭是必須
every night i pray for peace on earth
卻整夜祈禱世界和平
i hand out my dollars to the homeless
有時我會施捨流浪漢
but believe that every able soul should work
也堅信正常人該自食

父親傳給我他的獵槍
my father gave me my shotgun
我也會把它傳給兒子
that ill hand down to my son
試著教他做人的道理
try to teach him everything it means
我堅信自己的信仰

若要說我錯
im a man of my convictions
說我對隨你
call me wrong
但我會拿出更好的人性面對每次爭鬥
call me right
你也許不喜歡我的方向
but i bring my better angels to every fight.
但你肯定知曉我的立場
you may not like where im goin
要恨我隨你
but you sure know where i stand
能愛我最好
hate me if you want to
我捍衛我自由表達的權利
love me if you can
卻擔憂電視給孩子灌輸的

擔心討論變成怒言和仇恨
i stand by my right to speak freely
我們有時真應該求同存異
but i worry bout what kids learn from tv
我相信耶穌
and before all of debating turns to angry words and hate
會照看我們
sometimes we should just agree to disagree
如果你問他他會說

我堅信自己的信仰
and i believe that jesus
若要說我錯
looks down here and sees us
說我對隨你
if you ask him he would say
但我會拿出更好的人性面對每次爭鬥

你也許不喜歡我的方向
im a man of my convictions
但你肯定知曉我的立場
call me wrong
要恨我隨你
call me right
能愛我更好
but i bring my better angels to every fight.
我堅信自己的信仰
you may not like where im goin
若要說我錯
