Ordinary Miracle是电影【Charlotte's Web】的主题歌,【夏洛特的网】也是我童年的读物。
当我在电影里听到那首歌的时候居然感动地老泪纵横。虽然电影里那些卑微生命的不凡举动不是真的,我一个几十岁的成人确从童话中学到了去尊重生命,哪怕是猪,蜘蛛,老鼠,,,每一个生命都有其存在的意义与原因。 尊重生命而我却无法改变自己成为素食者,我能做到的是不去做杀生取乐的游戏,对奉献肉食的动物心怀感激。
电影里开始的场面令人深思,母猪生产,Fern的爸爸举起斧子,要砍死小猪,Fern问道:你要干什么? 爸爸回答:母猪没有那么多奶头,照顾不了它,它先天不足,所以要杀掉。 Fern 说到:如果我先天不足,你会不会杀掉我? 她抢过小猪:我来照顾它。
生活就如歌词所说的,充满了Ordinary Miracle,任何一个普通的自然现象都是一个Ordinary Miracle,每一个人来到世上又何尝不是一个Ordinary的奇迹吗。生命来之不易且行且珍惜,自己的还有其它的。
这首歌是女高音歌,10来年前我买的【Charlotte's Web】DVD,我一度觉得Ordinary Miracle是世界上最美的歌,我第一次到唱坛就搜过,目前还没有人唱过,为了参加动物组,我勉为其难学唱了,实在唱不出那个味道,希望有一天能听到唱坛女神的演绎。
【Ordinary Miracle】
【Ordinary Miracle】
Sarah McLachlan
It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable?
Like every time a rain drop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
But always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
Ooh ooh ooh, oooh ooh ooh
It seems so exceptional
That things just work out afterall
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Ooh ooh ooh, oooh ooh ooh
It's just another ordinary miracle today
