Category: 向曼德拉致敬 Tribute to Nelson Mandela

在曼德拉服刑期間, 以致獲釋以後, 世界各地均有不少音樂人特地為他創作了不少歌曲。在此我們為大家搜羅有關歌曲, 既是一個回顧, 亦希望能為你帶來新思維。

Many musicians have dedicated songs to M. Mandela both during or after his imprisonment and here we would like to “rekindle” some of these fantastic songs and celebrations as a beautiful memory and inspiration for everyone.

    Lyrics:
    From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
    Confusing stars for satellites
    I never dreamed that you’d be mine
    But here we are, we’re here tonight

    Singing, “Amen I, I’m alive” (I’m alive)
    Singing, “Amen I, I’m alive”

    If everyone cared and nobody cried
    If everyone loved and nobody lied
    If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
    Then we’d see the day when nobody died

    And I’m singing
    Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
    Amen I, Amen I, Amen I (I’m alive)

    And in the air the fireflies
    Our only light in paradise
    We’ll show the world they were wrong
    And teach them all to sing along

    Singing, “Amen I, I’m alive” (I’m alive)
    Singing, “Amen I, I’m alive”

    If everyone cared and nobody cried
    If everyone loved and nobody lied
    If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
    Then we’d see the day when nobody died

    If everyone cared and nobody cried
    If everyone loved and nobody lied
    If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
    Then we’d see the day when nobody died
    When nobody died

    And as we lie beneath the stars
    We realize how small we are
    If they could love like you and me
    Imagine what the world could be

    If everyone cared and nobody cried
    If everyone loved and nobody lied
    If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
    Then we’d see the day when nobody died

    If everyone cared and nobody cried
    If everyone loved and nobody lied
    If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
    Then we’d see the day when nobody died

    We’d see the day, we’d see the day (When nobody died)
    We’d see the day, we’d see the day (When nobody died)
    We’d see the day (When nobody died)
