All men are born equal at
众生降生时皆平等
The moment they arrive
初临人世那一刻
Check the limbs and
审视我们赖以生存的
Senses we require to survive
肢体与感官机能
But some come deaf
但有人天生失聪
And dumb and blinded
失语或目不能视
Some have damage to their brains:
有人大脑受损残缺
Parents constantly reminded
父母时刻被提醒着
That they'll never play the
他们永远无法参与
Normal children's games
普通孩子的游戏
They may not be normal
或许他们并不寻常
But they're people just the same
但同样拥有生命尊严
If Christ had been born
若基督降生时
Defective to fulfil the Father's plan
带着缺陷完成天父旨意
Would he be as easily accepted
他是否还能被轻易接纳
As God made man
作为道成肉身的神子
Or does the human value alter
难道人的价值会改变
In the crippled human frame
在残缺的躯体中
Though the tongue and fingers falter
即使言语和手指颤抖
Must we shut them out
我们就该将他们拒之门外
And shut them up
让他们沉默
And shut the case and
封存他们的故事
Whisper 'such a shame '
低声叹息"多么遗憾"
That's how we shut them away
这就是我们如何将他们遗忘
Most of us are lucky
我们多数人何其幸运
Free from accidents at birth
出生时未曾遭遇意外
But their victims share our
但他们的苦难同样赋予
Right to the inheritance of earth
共享这片土地的权利
For all their grunts their stumps
无论残缺肢体或病痛缠身
Their tumours their eternal wheelchairs
无论终生与轮椅为伴
We're the freaks we're the inhumans
我们才是异类 我们才丧失人性
If we close our eyes and turn aside pretend
若我们闭目转身 假装视而不见
That if we do they'll not be there
若我们视而不见 他们终将消失不见
They've got to face it so we've got to face it
他们必须直面现实 我们也责无旁贷
Still they've got to live with it
他们依然要负重前行
In a worlds we supposedly share
在这个本应共享的人间
