I Was There

I was there that night in Bethlehem
耶穌降生之地有我的足跡
And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
人類第一次登月之時我也曾目睹
At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam
當林肯在葛底斯堡演說，當陸軍在諾曼底登陸，當越南戰場硝煙瀰漫，我都曾在那裡見證歷史
I heard every soldiers cry and every mommas prayer
我傾聽著每一位士兵的吶喊，每一位母親的禱告
I was there
我在歷史的每個時刻伴你左右
I was there when you took your first breath
我守護著你來到人世
When you lit that stolen Lucky Strike and like to choke to death
當你調皮地點燃偷來的人生第一支香煙，差點嗆死時候，我就在你的身邊
When you were waist deep in Carter's Creek
當牧師把你進入齊腰深的小溪
And preacher John dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air
為你洗禮時
I was there
我陪你經歷著生命的每一刻
I'm always around
我時刻伴你左右
I was then and I am now
我曾陪伴你走過人生每一步，至今也未曾遠離
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
未來的日子，我也將時刻守護
When a road comes to an end
當你覺得走投無路
I'm where you start again
不要放棄，我將在新的起點等你
I'm never farther than a word away
我永遠不會遠離你，放棄你
You've always got a friend
你將永不孤獨
When your grandma passed, I was in that house
祖母離世，我曾在那裡守護著她
When you Grandpa ran down the streets of gold to show her around
祖父牽著她的手，踏上了金色的天堂之路
I was there
我陪你經歷著生命的每一刻
I'm always around
我時刻伴你左右
I was then and I am now
我曾陪伴你走過人生每一步，至今也未曾遠離
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
未來的日子，我也將時刻守護
When a road comes to an end
當你覺得走投無路
I'm where you start again
不要放棄，我將在新的起點等你
I'm never farther than a word away
我永遠不會遠離你，放棄你
You've always got a friend
你將永不孤獨
I was there last night on highway 9
還記得昨晚9號高速公路的那個車站嗎？
When you answered the phoneand ran right through that stop sign
你正一邊接電話，一邊跑向車站
I was in the cab of that big rig, in that trucker's ear
我當時就在沖向你的那輛大卡車上
They made him swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
我在司機耳邊輕語，他控制著卡車與你擦肩而過
I was there
那一刻我正守護著你
If you're feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers
無論何時，當你感到孤獨，抬頭仰望，上帝守護著你
And I'm always there
我會一直伴你左右
