Sweeter 歌词
Hoping for a life more sweeter
追求平等的甘甜
Instead I’m just a story repeating
只因我成日受人歧视
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
生为黑人 时常胆战心惊
Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes
那些异样的眼神令我难寻平静
I thought we moved on from the darker days
本以为那黑暗社会早已破灭
Did the words of the King disappear in the air
至圣公言又再次被践踏了吗
Like a butterfly?
这一切都虚假无比
Somebody should hand you a felony
无缘无故被扣上深重罪名
Because you stole from me
你阻挡了我的光
My chance to be
让我一次次溃败
Hoping for a life more sweeter
我只追求平等的甘甜
Instead I’m just a story repeating
奈何成日受人歧视
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
生为黑人 时常胆战心惊
Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes
那些异样的眼神令我难寻平静
The tears of my Mother rain rain over me
母亲常在我眼前悲情啜泣
My sisters and my brothers sing sing over me
兄弟姐妹们则日夜高歌
And I wish I had another day
多希望今日早些过去
But it’s just another day
但明日如旧苦殇
Hoping for a life more sweeter
我只追求平等的甘甜
Instead I’m just a story repeating
奈何成日受人歧视
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
生为黑人 时常胆战心惊
Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes
那些异样的眼神令我难寻平静
Hoping for a life more sweeter
看似并不难求的平等 我甘之若饴
