My first day of recess 凹陷的第一天

They all laughed at me 他们都笑我

When I fell off the swing set 当我摔下秋千

The nurse called my Momma 护士叫我妈妈

To say I'd be late, 说我会迟到，

And when she gave me the phone 而当她给我的电话

I could hear Momma say 我能听到妈妈说

"I'm so sorry, son. “我很抱歉，孩子。

Oh I think you're' so brave" 哦，我想你“，所以勇敢”

   

And she was smilin when she said: 当她说她是微笑着：

   

When you come home, 当你回家的时候，

No matter how far, 无论多远，

Run through the door 透过门上运行

And into my arms 进入我的怀抱

It's where you are loved, 这就是你是被爱的，

It's where you belong 这是属于你

And I will be here 我会在这里

When you come home 当你回家

   

I waved good-bye through the window 我挥手再见透过窗户

As I boarded the plane, 当我登上飞机，

Was waiting for me 在等我

   

I found a letter from Momma 我发现了一封信妈妈

Tucked in my coat 藏在我的外套

And as I flew down the runway 当我飞到跑道

I smiled when she wrote: 我笑了，她说：

I'll miss you, son, 我会想念你的，儿子，

You'll be so far away 你会很远
