Let Your Light Shine -- Ellen Bailey
讓自身發(fā)光--艾倫·貝利
Does the light of your soul still shine
你靈魂的光是否耀眼四射
Is it still a beacon that others can find
它是否還能被他人發(fā)現(xiàn)感知到
Or does a guilty conscience cover it like a film
又是否被如幕布般的內(nèi)疚感遮蓋
Dulling its rays and causing it to look dim
而變得暗淡無(wú)光昏沉陰暗
Do you tell yourself everything is just fine
你是否告訴自己世間萬(wàn)物皆美好
Ignoring the needs of others as if blind
無(wú)視他人的需求仿佛雙目失明
What about those who have gone astray
比如那些誤入歧途的人
And those who are lonely and afraid
再如那些孤獨(dú)怯弱的人
Search your heart and see what you find
認(rèn)真思考一下看看自己發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么
Ask yourself if you have been unkind
捫心自問(wèn)是否與人為善
Good deeds alone will not get you into Heaven
單調(diào)的善行無(wú)法叩響天堂的大門
Extend a helping hand to your fallen brethren
扶一把你身陷囹圄的手足吧
It will clear your conscience and erase your sins
如此你的良知得以洗滌罪惡得以清除
And the light of your soul will be bright again
靈魂之光也會(huì)再次迸射
Others will look upon you as a beacon of hope
于別人眼中你就成了希望
As down life's road they struggle and cope
當(dāng)他們掙扎于人生的下坡路途
