《The Mission》歌词

[00:00:00] The Mission (使命) - Janis Ian (珍妮斯·艾恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian/Kye Fleming

[00:00:17] Jesus saves up in neon lights

[00:00:22] Lines are forming to the right

[00:00:26] For a blanket a bed

[00:00:28] Shelter against the night

[00:00:35] Young men sleeping away their dreams

[00:00:39] Old newspapers 'round their feet

[00:00:43] They were someone's child once

[00:00:47] Just like me

[00:00:49] There's no place like home

[00:00:54] Inside these walls

[00:00:58] Safe from the cold

[00:01:02] Another night falls

[00:01:07] What's mine is mine

[00:01:11] So I've been told

[00:01:15] There's no place like home

[00:01:24] Some claim victory some downfall

[00:01:28] Some can make no claim at all

[00:01:32] Bad breaks high stakes

[00:01:37] Alcohol

[00:01:41] The streets are crowded with vacant eyes

[00:01:45] Stripped of privacy and pride

[00:01:50] How long can only the strong survive

[00:01:56] There's no place like home

[00:02:00] Inside these walls

[00:02:04] Safe from the cold

[00:02:09] Another night falls

[00:02:13] What's mine is mine

[00:02:17] So I've been told

[00:02:21] There's no place like home

[00:02:51] Give me your poor

[00:02:56] Your tired your hungry

[00:03:00] All weary people

[00:03:04] Who yearn to be free

[00:03:08] I give them hope

[00:03:12] And mercy to all those in need

[00:03:23] Have mercy on me
