The other America
另一个美国
You can find her Sunday
你可以在周日找到她
Sitting by a stream
独自坐在溪边
On her own
形单影只
All alone
孤身一人
The other America
另一个美国
Might show up on Tuesday
或许会在周二出现
At your kitchen door
轻叩你的厨房门
She will ask politely
她将彬彬有礼地询问
Is anybody home
可有人在屋里安住
Or did they all lay down
还是都已躺下入眠
To sleep through the now
沉睡于此刻的虚无
And if they all lay down
若众人皆沉沉睡去
I'll be waiting for them
我将在河床边守候
At the river bed
静静等待
Once they wake from their rest
待他们从长梦中苏醒
The other America
另一个美国
Takes herself to night school
独自走进夜校课堂
To understand the law
研读法律条文
She may bring you questions
她终将带着疑问归来
When she finds the flaw
当发现制度裂痕时
Why did they all lay down
为何人们都选择躺下
To sleep through the now
沉睡于此刻的虚无
And if they all lay down
若众人皆沉沉睡去
I'll be waiting for them
我将在河床边守候
At the river bed
静静等待
Once they wake from their rest
待他们从长梦中苏醒
We could be opening a doorway globally
我们本可开启通往世界的大门
But that's okay
但这样也好
Once upon a time you had faith
曾几何时你满怀信念
You would not be swayed
不曾动摇分毫
By fools untouched by clairvoyance
不为愚昧无知所惑
And you swore that we'd be brave
你曾誓言我们将勇敢无畏
Well not today
但今日却未能兑现
No not today
是的 今日未能兑现
Because we all lay down
因我们都选择躺下
To sleep through the now
沉睡逃避当下
And if we all lay down
若我们都选择躺下
She'll be waiting for us
她将在彼岸守候
Where the rivers cross
在那河流交汇处
Once we wake from our rest all the best
当我们从沉睡中苏醒 一切都会好起来
The other America
另一个美国
