The Thorn Bird Story: http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/T/htmlT/thornbirds/thornbirds.htm 傳說中有一種鳥,一生只歌唱一次,牠的歌聲甜美,無與倫比。 這種鳥離巢之後,就不停的尋覓帶刺的樹,直到找到為止。
然後牠就會往樹上最長、最尖的刺撞去,
在極度的痛苦中引吭高歌,牠臨死前的謳歌,
超越了自身的痛楚,非但感人至深,連雲雀和夜鶯都要相形失色。
雖然牠以生命作為換取甜美歌聲的代價,
卻使得全世界的人都樂於側耳傾聽,上帝也會在天堂展顏而笑。
因為,唯有藉最深沈的痛楚,才能換取最美好的事物!

Lyric:
Ooh, short and sweet
No sense in dragging on past our needs Let's don't keep it hanging on If the fire's out, we should both be gone (Chorus:) Some people are made for each other Some people can love one another for life How 'bout us? Some people can hold it together Last through all kind of weather Can't we? Now, don't you get me wrong (What you sayin' to me, baby?) 'Cause I'm not tryin' now to end it all (Let's start something) It's just that I have seen (What have you seen?) Too many lovers' hearts lose their dreams (We won't lose it) (Repeat chorus) How 'bout us, how 'bout us, baby? (3x) (Bridge:) Are we gonna make it, girl Or are we gonna drift and drift and drift together? (Repeat chorus, ad lib, and fade) <> The Thorn Birds _ Anywhere The Heart Goes

THE THORN BIRDS By Colleen McCullough Long Ago, there was a bird who sang just once in its life. From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree. and it never rested until it found one. Then it began to sing more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn. But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony to out-sing the lark and the nightingale. The thorn bird pays its life for that one song and the whole world stills to listen and God, in His heaven ~smiles. As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain. Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come. But when we press the thorn to our breast, We know........ We understand..... And still......we do it. |
