This is just a song to say 这只是一首歌说

That I'm proud for what they are 我很自豪的是他们的

And I hope my world can take me 我希望我的世界可以带我

Half that far 一半远

   

Way back in McCarthy's day 早在麦卡锡的一天

My parents left the USA 我的父母离开美国

Young rebellious lovers 年轻叛逆的恋人

They left behind a nation far too proud 他们留下了一个民族落后太多骄傲

And powerful to say 而强大的说

That love transcends all colors 这爱超越了所有的颜色

Some black men turned against my father 有些黑人反抗我的父亲

Some white men turned against my mother 一些白人男子转身对我的母亲

Each race has their place they all would say 每个种族都有他们都可以说的地方

   

And with a past so battle worn 并配有过去那么穿战斗

And a future begging to be born 和一个未来的乞讨出生

They found a life that's growing still today 他们找到了生活的今天仍然不断增长

   

And glancing thru the years 而且一眼通的年

And living thru their fears 生活通他们的恐惧

I hope they can accept my goals 我希望他们能接受我的目标

A bit confused, a bit unclear 有点迷茫，有点不清楚

   

And all the years behind me now 和所有在我身后，现在年

Seem like a book I've read and yet somehow 看起来像一本书我读过，但不知何故

I still don't understand all the words 我还是不明白，​​所有的话

All the black and all the white 所有的黑和全白

That rest in me that make me fight 那其余的我，让我打

Remind me of all the knowledge left to learn 提醒我的所有的知识留下来学习

Still Some black men turned against my father 仍然有一些黑人反抗我的父亲

Some white men turned against my mother 一些白人男子转身对我的母亲

Each race has their place they all would say 每个种族都有他们都可以说的地方

with a past so battle worn 与过去这么穿战斗

And a future begging to be born 和一个未来的乞讨出生

They found a life that's growing still today 他们找到了生活的今天仍然不断增长

   

And glancing thru the years 而且一眼通的年

And living thru their fears 生活通他们的恐惧

I hope they can accept my goals 我希望他们能接受我的目标

A bit confused, a bit unclear 有点迷茫，有点不清楚

   

This is just a song to say that I'm proud for what they are 这只是一首歌说，我很自豪的是他们的

And I hope my world can take me half that far 我希望我的世界可以带我的一半那么远
