Written by：Dar Williams

Go ahead push your luck
尽管去碰碰运气吧
Find out how much love the world can hold
看看这世界能承载多少爱
Once upon a time I had control and reined my soul in tight
曾几何时，我掌控一切，紧紧束缚着自己的灵魂
Well the whole truth
然而，真相
Is like the story of a wave unfurled
就像海浪展开的故事
But I held the evil of the world
但我却背负着世界的罪恶
So I stopped the tide
所以我阻止了潮汐
Froze it up from inside
从内心冻结了它
And it felt like
感觉就像
A winter machine that you go through and then
一台冬日的机器，你穿过它
You catch your breath and winter starts again
你喘口气，冬天又重新开始
And everyone else is spring bound
而其他人都在奔向春天
But when I chose to live
但当我选择活下去
There was no joy it's just a line I crossed
并没有喜悦，只是跨过了一条线
It wasn't worth the pain my death would cost
我的死亡代价不值得那些痛苦
So I was not lost or found
所以我既未迷失，也未找到
And if I was to sleep
如果我选择沉睡
I knew my family had more truth to tell
我知道我的家人还有更多真相要诉说
And so I traveled down a whispering well
于是我深入低语的井底
To know myself through them
通过他们来认识自己
Growing up my mom had a room full of books
成长过程中，母亲有一间满是书籍的房间
And hid away in there
她躲藏其中
Her father raging down a spiral stair
她的父亲愤怒地走下螺旋楼梯
Till he found someone most days his son
直到他找到某个人，通常是他的儿子
And sometimes I think my father too is a refugee
有时我觉得父亲也是个流亡者
I know they tried to keep their pain from me
我知道他们试图将痛苦藏匿
They could not see what it was for
他们未能看清这一切的意义
But now I'm sleeping fine
但如今我安然入睡
Sometimes the truth is like a second chance
有时真相如同第二次机会
I am the daughter of a great romance
我是伟大爱情的结晶
And they are the children of the war
而他们是战争的产物
Well the sun rose
太阳升起
With so many colors it nearly broke my heart
五彩斑斓的世界几乎让我心碎
It worked me over like a work of art
它像一件艺术品般将我彻底改变
And I was apart of all that
而我曾是其中的一部分
So go ahead push your luck
所以尽管去赌一把吧
Say what it is you gotta say to me
说出你想对我说的话
We will push on into that mystery
我们将勇往直前，探索那未知的谜团
And it will push right back
而它也会给予我们回应
And there are worse things than that
毕竟还有比这更糟糕的事情
'Cause for every price and every penance that I could think of
因为我能想到的每一个代价和每一次忏悔
It's better to have fallen in love
坠入爱河总比从未爱过要好
Than never to have fallen at all
毕竟从未爱过更令人遗憾
'Cause when you live in a world
因为当你生活在这个世界
Well it gets in to who you thought you'd be
它会改变你曾经以为的自己
And now I laugh at how the world changed me
如今我笑看世界如何改变了我
I think life chose me
我想是生活选择了我
After all
终究如此
