父母的愛,是我們永遠無法回報的。
這首When I Pray For You是首充滿父母對子女的舐犢之愛,
當我們逐漸長大,漸漸地不再依靠父母,
那是他們對我們的期望,期望我們獨立成長,
但另一方面他們也期待我們能適時回家看看逐漸年老的他們,
希望大家都能當個孝順父母的子女,
畢竟父母的愛,昊天罔極...
這首歌同時也是電影''The Shack"(心靈小屋)的主題曲喔!!
I talk to God about you
我第一次跟上帝提及你
And I ain't even met you yet
那時你甚至還未來到我的生命
Everybody's waitin' on you here
大家都期待你的到來
I can't wait to feel your heart beat
我等不及聽見你的心跳聲
When I lay you on my chest
當我輕輕的將你靠在我的胸膛
I'm already holding back my tears
我壓抑著我的淚水
I wanna be the dad that my dad was
我期望當一名稱職的父親,和我的父親一樣
I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up

I pray you love like your momma

And you forgive just like she does

And when this life knocks you down
當人生不太順利,擊倒了你

我希望你能靠自己的力量站起來
Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
因為我也是如此,我也是這樣走過來的
When I pray for you

Oh, and I pray for you

I know you're gonna grow up some day

But don't forget to take your time
但請你別忘了
And take the time to call back home
別忘了有時間記得常常回家
It ain't always gonna be easy

It ain't always gonna be fair
人生不是公平的
