Written by：Robert William Crawford/Scott Yancey Avett/Timothy Seth Avett

I found a flower in a field
我在荒芜中发现一朵花
A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel
车流人海间 钢筋水泥的丛林里
Manhattan is where it grew
它在曼哈顿倔强生长
And I thought to cut it from its stem
我曾想将它连根剪下
And take it from the cracks
从砖缝中轻轻捧起
Between bricks that it lay in
那栖身的狭窄缝隙
And save it from city strife
带它逃离都市的倾轧
Away from the city life
远离这冰冷的繁华
Then someone they whispered in my ear
这时有人在我耳边低语
A county girl can't be made out of anybody here
乡野之花怎会绽放在这钢筋丛林
Don't touch it it loves you not
别触碰 它本不属于你
Don't touch it it loves you not
别触碰 它本不属于你
Cause blue birds don't fly without their wings
因为青鸟失去翅膀便不能翱翔
And when we put them in a cage
若将它们囚于牢笼
The world can't hear them sing
世界就听不见那歌声悠扬
So selfish when greed sets in
贪婪降临时 人心何等自私张狂
Possession the king of sin
占有是罪恶之王
And people don't ever let you down
人们永远不会让你失望
Forever find a way to kill whatever love they've found
他们总能找到方法 扼杀所遇见的爱
A heart beat and I want it too
心跳声 我也渴望拥有
Manhattan is where she grew
曼哈顿是她生长的地方
So I left and I let the flower be
于是我离开 让花朵独自绽放
And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV
昨日在电视上 看见那朵花的身影
Much prettier than here with me
比留在我身边更加绚丽
For all of the world to see
让全世界都能欣赏
Much prettier than here with me
比留在我身边更加绚丽
