Never Got Off the Ground - Alison Krauss

Never Got Off the Ground - Alison Krauss (艾莉森·克劳丝)

My father was a farmer

But his head was in the sky
喜欢仰望天空
He worked everyday but Sunday
除了星期日，每日都辛苦劳作
Til the day he died

He prayed for rain and thunder
他祈求甘雨和雷电的降临
And listened for the sound
聆听大地的呼唤
In the dry years he went under

He never got off the ground
从来都脚踏实地
We all dream when we're younger

That we will do great things

Me I used to have a hunger
曾渴望
To wear a pilot's wings
拥有飞行的翅膀
But the circle's that I ran in
飞进一个怪圈
Turned my head around
不得不转头而去
And the planes I had my plans in
梦中的飞机
Never got off the ground
从未离地
Don't raise your hopes
别人多次说道
You hear so many say
不要寄予希望
The higher they get
希望越大
The closer they are to flying away
失望越大
Fly away
失望越大
Don't raise your hopes
别人多次说道
You hear so many say
不要寄予希望
The higher they get
希望越大
The closer they are to flying away

They say there but for fortune
但他们说
Is the way it would have been
未来一定会有出路
If we could take a bigger portion
只要我们努力
We'd fill our hands again
一定能够梦想成真
You see them on the sidewalks

In the parks all over town
小镇公园里的人们
Those who've taken flight
他们也曾起飞
Never got off the ground
却从未离地
