I wouldn't make a sound

I wouldn't be run

If it wasn't so far to go
若前路不那么漫长
I wouldn't keep on
我本可以停下脚步
If there wasn't something
若非还有值得
Worth keepin'
坚守的信仰
I want to believe

Can be moved

It can't change the world

I get a little scared

When I'm driving
当我驾车穿过
Through the ghetto

There's a part of me
内心深处
That wants to hide

There's a part of me

Cuz even though I

I grew up in the suburbs

I didn't really grow

Until I learned

How so many others lived

I'm digging

Digging deep in myself
在灵魂深处苦苦寻找
But who needs a shovel
何须铁锹在手
When you have a little boy like mine
有爱子相伴便已足够
This ain't the world

That I want to give him

People racing around in cars
人们驱车飞驰而过
And cities you can't even walk across

But it's come time for us
但此刻我们该觉醒了
To row this boat
摇动这叶扁舟
And on the horizon
远方的地平线上
I see windmills sprouting up in rows
风车如林破土而立
There's young folks farming
有青年躬耕田间
And a few that're gonna vote

But this is only a song
但这只是一首歌
It can't change the world
它无法改变世界
So I try why even sing at all

I picture the Harlem Globetrotters

Dancing like mosquitos
如蚊群般轻盈舞动
With a basketball
围绕着一颗篮球
Cuz there is beauty in freedom
因为自由本就蕴含美好
And folks like me

Came over on boats
乘船渡海而来
Flew in on planes
搭机越洋而至
Crawled under fences
匍匐穿越藩篱
And fought wars

Just to find a place to be free

But this is only a song
但这只是一首歌
It can't change the world
它无法改变世界
This is only a song
这不过是首旋律
It can't change the world
它无法改变世界
This is only a song
这不过是首旋律
It can't change the world
无法改变世界
