It’s all so clear, who you’re come to be
You know yourself, your identity
When suddenly comes a little child
A precious smile
Bcomes the heart
Of who you are

Your hold in yours, such a tiny hand
And speak so osft, would he understand
That no matter where in this crazy world
His sails unfurl
He’ll never be
Too far from me

Ah,but there world come a day
When that child slips away
When autumn fell, and the wars bgan
To take his hand
Away from me
How can this be

So you return to your old neighborhood
And walk the streets of your childhood
How those memories they come rushing in
To live again
The very heart
Of who you are

You still recall how it made you feel
Just you and dad and no training wheels
Wind in your face on that special day
To hear him say
”I’m letting go”
”You’re on your own”

Ah,but there would come a day
When that child slips away
When,at thirty years there’s another one
Who would call you ”son”
How can this be
What’s wrong with me

I’ll turn my face to the open sea
Ahead of me
And learn to ride
The changing tide

Ah,but there world coma a day~~~
Ah,but there world come a day~~~~

這是一首 Matthew Lien的歌，
他是個熱愛大地、熱愛生命的音樂家。
消逝的小孩說的其實是我們自已，我們一直都在走成長的路。歌詞寫的實在是太好，讓我無法多說些什麼。
Matthew Lien是個很感性的人，往往聽他的曲、歌，我都會有很多的感觸，一個心裡充滿愛的人，看到的世界竟是如此的遼闊。
我是個很喜歡小孩的人，可能是受了成長背景的影響，我覺得”小孩”就應該要快樂，不該懂太多成人的無奈，學會大人的冷漠。他們該開開心心的做一個快樂的小孩。上日文課的時侯，老師問我我的夢想是什麼，我掙扎的說出”中譯:我想開一間免費的兒童樂園”讓所有的小孩沒有負擔的在這裡得到他們心中簡單的幸福。
在我們小的時侯，幸福是什麼?一顆糖、一瓶結冰的養樂多、還是坐一下那種擺在雜貨店門口一次十元的搖車、、、。
怎麼，幸福現在離我們這樣遠、、、。
