As long as I have music
新年第一天,来首好歌~
When the world seems far beyond me ,
And I have no place to go.
When my life seems cold and empty,
And I feel I’m all alone.
Then a song that I remember helps to ease my trouble mind.
And I find the strength within me,
To reach out just one more time.
For as long as I have music,
As long as there’s a song for me to sing,
I can find my way,
I can see a brighter day,
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
When the road is dark and lonely,
And I feel I want to cry.
When the dreams I keep in side me
Seem to fade.
And I almost die.
Then I call up-on my music
And it helps me to dry my tears.
And I know I can make it .
I’ll go on,
despite my fears.
For as long as I have music,
As long as there’s a song for me to sing .
I can find my way,
I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
Set it free!
Set it free!
