Christ33

好想哭,从什么时候开始知道这首歌的呢?大概是从新奥尔良飓风灾害之后的那段时间.
我所参加的美国红十字会,里面有个30多岁的女人,和丈夫两人暂停工作,从美国北部一路开车到新奥尔良,帮助那里的难民重建家园.等他们完成任务之后,带着满满一箱的照片,回到家里.在红十字会,他们用幻灯片结合着这首better days,对没有亲历那场灾难和重建工作的人们,展示着新奥尔良的残檐断壁和当地居民乐观坚强的笑容.从那时起,我就开始寻找这首歌的歌名.一年多后的今天,电视里放出熟悉的旋律,我马上追问美国室友,找到了它

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
