10.The Other Side
另一邊

I stood on the edge of 8 years old
站在歲月邊緣那時我即將八歲
On a mountain top in Minnesota
跋山涉水在明尼蘇達州的山巔
Behind my old grade school
從老舊的母校畢業
We'd steady our nerve and take a breath
我們已經平復了焦慮深呼吸
Throwing ourselves to certain death
彷彿我們必將墮入死亡
But the kings of the hill must fight to keep their rule
但山巔眾神為信守原則而拯救了我們
.
.
I went back there a couple years ago
多年前我重回那裡
That mountain was twenty feet tall
山巒唯有二十英尺高
.
.
Skip to the scene where I was sixteen
十六歲的我躍向這風景

輪流等待上摩天輪
Taking my turn on the tilt-a- whirl
握著一個深棕瞳色女孩的手
Holding the hand of a brown eyed girl
我曾以為她是我命中註定的愛人
I thought would be the one
旅程變得艱難我們被迫別離
When the ride got rough we were torn apart
高速的旋轉驟然停止如同一顆破碎的心
The spinning stopped like a broken heart
眨眼間她已如煙
I blinked and she was gone
.
.
我感到我自己是世界盡頭的殘船
I felt shipwrecked at the edge of the world
但愛捲土重來
But love came and found me again
.
.
在世界的另一邊我能輕易看見這條路
On the other side, where it's easier to see the way
上帝及時伸出雙手救贖了我
His hand provides just in time to save the day
我意識到我怯於攀登的那些山巒
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
並非我想像中的那樣高大聳峙
Aren't as big as I thought they were
當我在另一面思考時
When I'm on the other side
.
.
生活暗淡無光時我躍向這風景

久久佇立直到晨光初現
Skip to the scene where I'm on my knees
捉襟見肘時亦嘗試著相信
Holding on 'til the morning light
不可名狀的希望熠熠生輝
Trying to trust when the money's tight
等候室中的縱橫字謎
In a hope I can't explain
祈禱回音速來
Crossword puzzlesin the waiting room
以填補所有空白
Praying for an answer soon
.
To fill in all the blanks
但我以來過多次
.
愛總是協我渡過難關
But I've been here many times before
.
And love's always carried me through
在世界的另一邊我能輕易看見這條路
.
上帝及時伸出雙手救贖了我
To the other side, where it's easier to see the way
我意識到我怯於攀登的那些山巒
His hand provides just in time to save the day
並非我想像中的那樣高大聳峙
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
當我在另一面思考時
Aren't as big as I thought they were
.
When I'm on the other side
多少次我注定要去證明
.
我無法獨攬一切
How many times am I destined to prove
但自由因仁慈而降臨
I can't do this all on my own
在上帝的寶座前站立
But there is freedom in failing and finding his mercy
我亦非自己想像的一般強大
And standing in front of his throne
.
I'm not as big as I thought I was
所以我不再膽怯
.
無論如今的刀山火海
So I won't be afraid
山神會引領著我
No matter what the trouble is I see today
引領我走過另一邊無際的黑暗
The maker of the mountains, He will make a way
.
To lead me through the darkness to the other side…
我能輕易看見這條路之處
.
上帝及時伸出雙手救贖了我
Where it's easier to see the way
我意識到我怯於攀登的那些山巒
His hand provides just in time to save the day
並非我想像中的那樣高大聳峙
And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
當我在另一面思考時
Aren't as big as I thought they were
.
When I'm on the other side
我們人生度過的每一段篇章

已教會我去信任你
.
耶穌的教徒再次點醒我使我醍醐灌頂
Every chapter that we've been through
Has taught me to rely on you
Jesus teach me that again
