一個孤兒的故事

那年我只有三歲
(I was only three that year)

看見媽媽裝在一個四方盒子裡
(I saw mother lying in a big box)

安祥無聲地睡去
(She was sleeping quietly and peacefully)

她的頭髮那樣黑,像她慈愛閃亮的眼
(Her hair was so dark just like her shiny black eyes)

我不懂他們為何哭泣
(I did not know why the people were crying)

後來我長到五歲
(Then I grew to the age of five)

看見爸爸躺在雪白醫院病房裡
(I saw father lying in a white hospital bedroom)

急促地想要呼吸
(He was fighting for breath)

他的臉孔那樣急,像是激動地發脾氣
(His face looked so desperate as if he was losing his patience)

我害怕他也裝進盒子裡
(I was afraid that they would put him in the big box too)

像媽媽一樣不再醒來 從此不再醒來
(Just like mother who never woke up again, who never ever woke up again)

Chorus:
失去了父母,我來到這裡
(After losing mum and dad, I came to this place)

如今轉眼我已十七
(In the twinkling of an eye, I am now seventeen)

過去的記憶雖有恐懼淚跡
(Though there were memories of fears and tears)

現在我卻不灰心 不嘆息
(Now I am neither discouraged nor downhearted)

昂然抬頭定睛天父的慈愛
(I lift up my head and look towards my Heavenly Father's love)

喜樂地跨步奔去
(And run joyfully and swiftly towards Him)

因為他說:
(For He says:)

我是孤兒的父
(I am the Father of the fatherless)
