I found a book that my mama kept 我发现了一本书，我的妈妈不停

Filled with secrets she hid 充满秘密就藏

And in a dusty old attic, one mornin’ I read 而在一个尘土飞扬的旧阁楼一早上，我读

About a woman I never met 关于女人，我从来没有见过

Who had dreams just like mine 谁曾梦想就是像我这样

With every page that I turned, the words came alive 随着每次我打开页面时，文字再放

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train 希望我能摇出城就像一个失控的火车

I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane 我会尽我不敢，让他们叫我疯子

I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance 我永远也不会坐在生命的场边，我会跳舞每一个舞蹈

If I just had the chance 如果我有机会

   

A tear fell on that faded page 一滴眼泪落在了褪色页

‘Cause this was somebody else “因为这是别人

Not the mama I knew who never thought of herself 没有妈妈，我知道谁从来没有想过自己的

But the times, they were different then 但时代，他们是那么的不同

And lines just didn’t get crossed 和线条只是没有得到跨越

And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost 而这些话，她写道，他们莫名其妙地丢失了

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train 希望我能摇出城就像一个失控的火车

I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane 我会尽我不敢，让他们叫我疯子

I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance 我永远也不会坐在生命的场边，我会跳舞每一个舞蹈

If I just had the chance 如果我有机会

   

The chance that she never had 她从未有过的机会

Is now the gift that is mine 现在是礼物，是我的

And our here on this road, I’m makin’ up for lost time 而我们这里在这条路上，我要做个弥补失去的时间

Yeah, I am my mother’s child 是啊，我是我妈妈的孩子

And tonight in this car, I've got words in suitcase and dreams in my heart 而今晚的这辆车，我得在旅行箱的话和梦想在我的心脏

   

As I roll out of town like a run-away train 正如我摇出城就像一个失控的火车

I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane 我会尽我不敢，让他们叫我疯子

I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance 我永远也不会坐在生命的场边，我会跳舞每一个舞蹈

While I still have the chance 虽然我还有机会

   

I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance 我永远也不会坐在生命的场边，我会跳舞每一个舞蹈

While I still have the chance 虽然我还有机会
