Someday You'll Be a Story

Barely asleep when I got the call
接到电话之后睡意消散
Drove through the night till I made it home
穿越浓浓夜色终抵家门
And in his last few breaths I heard
从他弥留之际的微弱呼吸中
Eighty-one years of wisdom learned
我听见81个春秋的智慧
Born in the south when the country was down
国家分崩离析之时生于南国
Somehow found work when no work could be found
无工可做的年代命运垂青男儿
Drafted to war.Eighteen so young
被派疆场，年不过十八
But when it was through his fight had just begun
然而战争结束之时，才是一切的开始
And he said
他缓缓道来：
You can't find truth without the hurt
不曾为真理遍体鳞伤，所见并非为真
You won't know peace without a fight
不曾征战沙场，无法体味何为和平
It always matters how you live your life
最重要的是你会如何
And only time will tell
时间将给予一切答案
All of the things you do right now
你当下所做的一切
The love that you found
你所感受到的爱意
Will be passed down to everyone
都将通过另一个人传递下去
Someday you'll be a story to someone
某天你会成为某人心底的故事

他找到自己的妻子
He found his wife
她为他抚平心底的伤
And she helped him heal
他是她的剑，而她是他的盾
He was her sword and she was his shield
竭尽全力维护一个家
Tried to make sure the family
使之在生活的未知中屹立不倒
Could always endure the pain that life could bring
他缓缓道来：
And he said
不要认为时间还很多
Don't ever think that you've got time
因为谁也无法抵抗流年似水
'Cause you can't stop the passing years
所以别让自己在泪水中迷失
So don't ever lose yourself inside your fears
因为唯有时间，才是一切的答案
'Cause only time will tell
你当下所做的一切
All of the things you do right now
你所感受的爱意
The love that you found
都将通过另一个人得以传递
Will be passed down to everyone
某天你会成为某人的故事
Someday you'll be a story to someone
某天我会拥有自己的孩子
One day I'll have a child of my own
我会与他分享我曾受之指引的智慧之光
And I'll share the light that I've been shown
我会向他诉说这些很久之前对我说过的话语
And say those word that I was told long ago
因为唯有时间，才是一切的答案
'Cause only time will tell
你当下所做的一切
All of the things you do right now
你所感受的爱意
The love that you found
都将通过另一个人得以传递
Will be passed down to everyone
某天你会成为某人心底的故事
Someday you'll be a story to someone
你所感受的爱意
The love that you found
都将通过另一个人得以传递
Will be passed down to everyone
某天你会成为某人心底的故事
Someday you'll be a story to someone
