《New Hymn》歌词

[00:00:00] New Hymn - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)

[00:00:06] Source of all we hope or dread

[00:00:10] Sheepdog jackal rattler swan

[00:00:15] We hunt your face and long to trust

[00:00:19] That your hid mouth will say again let there be light

[00:00:28] A clear new day

[00:00:32] But when we thirst in this dry night

[00:00:38] We drink from hot wells poisoned with the blood of children

[00:00:47] And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam

[00:00:54] Our ears are balked by stifled moans

[00:00:59] And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters brother wild men

[00:01:08] Clawing at the gates for bread

[00:01:15] Even our own feeble hands

[00:01:19] Aim to seize the crown you wear

[00:01:24] And work our private havoc through

[00:01:29] The known and unknown lands of space

[00:01:37] Absolute in flame beyond us

[00:01:42] Seed and source of dark and day

[00:01:47] Maker whom we beg to be

[00:01:53] Our mother father comrade mate

[00:02:00] Till our few atoms blow to dust

[00:02:05] Or form again in wiser lives

[00:02:10] Or find your face and hear our name

[00:02:15] In your calm voice the end of night

[00:02:19] If dark may end

[00:02:25] Wellspring gold of dark and day

[00:02:30] Be here

[00:02:35] Be now
