《Here Was a Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Here Was a Man - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:00] Written by：Bill Walker/Johnny Bond/Tex Ritter

[00:00:11] Here was a man a man

[00:00:14] Who was born in a small village

[00:00:16] The son of a peasant woman

[00:00:18] He grew up in another small village

[00:00:22] Until he reached the age of thirty

[00:00:24] He worked as a carpenter

[00:00:26] Then for three years

[00:00:27] He was a traveling minister

[00:00:29] But he never traveled more

[00:00:30] Than two hundred miles from

[00:00:32] Where he was born and

[00:00:34] Where he did go he usually walked

[00:00:38] He never held political office

[00:00:41] He never wrote a book

[00:00:43] Never bought a home

[00:00:44] Never had a family

[00:00:46] He never went to college

[00:00:48] And he never set foot inside a big city

[00:00:50] Yes here was a man

[00:00:54] Yes here was a man

[00:00:56] Though he never did one on the things

[00:00:58] Usually associated with greatness

[00:01:02] He had no credentials but himself

[00:01:05] He had nothing to do with this world

[00:01:07] Except through the divine purpose

[00:01:10] That brought him to this world

[00:01:13] While he was still a young man

[00:01:15] The tide of popular opinion turned against him

[00:01:20] Most of his friends ran away

[00:01:22] One of them denied him

[00:01:24] One of them betrayed him

[00:01:26] And turned him over to his enemies

[00:01:29] Then he went through the mockery of a trial

[00:01:32] And was nailed to a cross between two thieves

[00:01:38] And even while he was dying

[00:01:41] His executioners gambled

[00:01:43] For the only piece of property

[00:01:45] That he had in this world

[00:01:47] And that was his robe his purple robe

[00:01:53] When he was dead

[00:01:55] He was taken down from the cross

[00:01:57] And laid in a borrowed grave

[00:01:59] Provided by compassionate friends

[00:02:04] More than nineteen centuries have come and gone

[00:02:07] And today he's a centerpiece of the human race

[00:02:10] Our leader in the column to human destiny

[00:02:15] I think I'm well within the mark when I say

[00:02:18] That all of the armies that ever marched

[00:02:21] All of the navies that ever sailed the seas

[00:02:24] All of the legislative bodies that ever sat

[00:02:27] And all of the kings that ever reigned

[00:02:30] All of them put together have not affected

[00:02:33] The life of man on this earth

[00:02:35] So powerfully as that one solitary life

[00:02:41] Here was a man
