《Silent Legacy》歌词

[00:00:00] Silent Legacy - Melissa Etheridge (玛丽萨·艾瑟里奇)

[00:00:00] Written by：Melissa Etheridge

[00:00:09] Why did you steal the matches

[00:00:11] From the one room motel

[00:00:14] Once they gave you answers

[00:00:16] Now they give you hell

[00:00:18] They will never understand

[00:00:20] They wonder where did they go wrong

[00:00:23] How could you be so selfish

[00:00:25] Why can't you get along

[00:00:27] And as you pray

[00:00:29] In your darkness

[00:00:32] For wings to set you free

[00:00:36] You are bound

[00:00:39] To your silent

[00:00:41] Legacy

[00:00:50] You've seen it in the movies

[00:00:52] And you've heard it on the street

[00:00:54] Craving the affection

[00:00:57] Your blood is full of heat

[00:00:59] They don't listen to your reasons

[00:01:01] As original as sin

[00:01:03] Deny all that you feel

[00:01:05] And they will bring you home again

[00:01:07] And as you pray

[00:01:10] In your darkness

[00:01:12] For wings to set you free

[00:01:16] You are bound

[00:01:19] To your silent

[00:01:21] Legacy

[00:01:30] Your body is alive

[00:01:32] But no one told you what you'd feel

[00:01:34] The empty aching hours

[00:01:37] Trying to conceal

[00:01:39] The natural progression

[00:01:41] Is the coming of your age

[00:01:43] But they cover it with shame

[00:01:45] And turn it into rage

[00:01:47] And as you pray

[00:01:49] In your darkness

[00:01:52] For wings to set you free

[00:01:56] You are bound

[00:01:58] To your silent

[00:02:01] Legacy

[00:02:09] You are digging for the answers

[00:02:12] Until your fingers bleed

[00:02:14] To satisfy the hunger

[00:02:16] To satiate the need

[00:02:18] They feed you on the guilt

[00:02:20] To keep you humble keep you low

[00:02:23] Some man and myth they made up

[00:02:24] A thousand years ago

[00:02:26] And as you pray

[00:02:29] In your darkness

[00:02:31] For wings to set you free

[00:02:35] You are bound

[00:02:37] To your silent

[00:02:39] Legacy

[00:02:57] Mothers tell your children

[00:02:59] Be quick you must be strong

[00:03:01] Life is full of wonder

[00:03:03] Love is never wrong

[00:03:06] Remember how they taught you

[00:03:08] How much of it was fear

[00:03:10] Refuse to hand it down

[00:03:12] The legacy

[00:03:14] Stops here

[00:03:53] Oh my child

[00:03:58] Oh my child

[00:04:15] Oh my child
