    When the Children Cry by White Lion

    When the Children Cry by White Lion

    今天晚上突然在 radio.AOL.com聽到,非常的驚喜,這首快20年前的一個搖滾樂團所唱的抒情歌,一開頭就是非常清透的吉他前奏,再來是主唱清唱,帶點沙啞的powerful 嗓音。

    雖然已經超過10年沒再想起這首歌,但一聽到旋律,整首歌的歌詞躍入腦海,歌詞在講述的,是主唱用對話的方式,對著小孩子們在訴說,這個世界不知為何變成現在這個樣子,戰爭動亂,獨裁統治,人們互相爭鬥,破壞一切~ 小孩子們,或許你們現在感到害怕恐懼,感到不知所措,但擦乾你的眼淚,始終相信,這個世界仍然是有peace, love and hope,只要一起努力,總有一天它會再是一個全新的世界。

    很棒的旋律,很棒的歌詞~ 

    這讓我突然想到另外一首歌,we are the world,20多年前 Michael Jackson (麥克傑克森)和一群歌手合唱的,為世界和平祈福,而 Michael Jackson 在今天因心臟病過世,享年50歲,又一個代表我們年少時代的巨星殞落~
    Rest in peace, Michael~

    When the Children Cry

    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
    but no one knows just why
    what have we 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 "have we" 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
