欲哭無淚!

剛剛看完近二個小時Lifetime channel的有關911的資料片,只有四個字形容我此時的心情:欲哭無淚!電影里的災難片,即使它們是假的,倒是騙到我的不少眼淚。可這一幕幕比電影里更悲慘的畫面,我無語,我悲憤,我想吶喊!可是滿腔的話不知從何說起,911給我們現在生活的國度帶來了太多的影響:

一貫以坐飛機比坐火車坐汽車還方便的美國人民不再優先選擇這項優越的交通工具。

一個通訊自由的國度從此增加了一道道的監控設備以防止生化武器的襲擊導致Anthrax的悲劇重演。

十年前曾有128Billion的財政赤字的美國在十年後的今天財政赤字增加到了1.5 trillion,因為很多的鈔票花在了國防和軍隊。我們從事的行業的聯邦財政撥款也有大幅度地增高。實際上我倒是從內心更喜歡擁有一個和平的世界而不需要這些撥款。

還有很多很多的影響和改變。我選二首歌表達我此時的心情和感受,因為這二首歌每次聽到我都會熱淚盈眶,因為歌詞寫出了我的心情。God Bless the USA. 

Lee Greenwood的《God Bless the USA》。這首歌我想入美國籍的朋友都一定會有共鳴吧!我還記得當時在移民局的小房間里宣誓儀式的畫面。希望所有的美籍華人朋友一起共勉!


Alan Jackson的《When the world stopped turning:A 9/11 tribute》

God Bless The USA

by Lee Greenwood
 

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
『Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
『Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
『Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be and American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
『Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.


"Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" 歌詞 (Alan Jackson)

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters?

[Chorus:]
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell 
you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Or go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Did you stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

[Repeat Chorus 2x]
And the greatest is love.
And the greatest is love.

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?

不想和前總統相提並論。自己不會寫,看不出用二首歌來替我說一下我心裡的感受怎麼就是在錯誤的道路上越滑越遠?

是啊,一發炮彈幾百萬,一桶油比十年前漲價近五倍,只是苦了老百姓,工資不漲反而降,不是欲哭無淚難道還能笑出來?
