「人生無常不要太難過，人生有很多風雨，我也是這樣走過!」

達賴喇嘛 遇見失去14位親人的王明亮時說

+++

之前，在網路看到 達賴喇嘛 來台灣時，這句雖平實卻充滿人生歷練後沉澱的智慧時，莫名的感動淚濕!

而昨天聽到店附近的大樓有人跳樓自殺 ，今天又看到我住的附近又有人跳樓自殺，
或許 Whitney Houston 的人生起伏和豐沛歌聲唱，可以給失去活下去的人一些勇氣!!

我想如果 Whitney Houston 這位曾經是世界上呼風喚雨全球最紅的女人，
都可以因為一段殘敗不堪的婚姻和沉淪毒海，
整天不是傳出吸毒過量暴斃，就是被老公家暴上警察局的八卦醜聞，成為全世界的笑話後，
都還能不放棄自己，勇敢的重新站起來...
就算是被喻為流行樂壇最完美的聲音，每每現場表演都是唱到全場起立鼓掌致敬...
到吸毒倒嗓聲因殘破到讓支持者不忍聽下去甚至成為歌壇笑話，都還能勇敢的出來現場唱出自身經歷
那這世上沒有一個人有難堪到活不下去的?!
請失去勇氣的朋友，絕對不要放棄自己!

「如果沒有信仰，就不會有今天堅強的我...

所有的喜悅、人生的高潮與低潮，全都融入專輯中...」



這首 Whitney Houston 相隔七年戒毒離婚後，重新站起來的新碟同名單曲，
是聽歌史三十年的我，第一次聽就忍不住感動到哽咽淚濕的歌曲!
Whitney Houston 怎可以藉由歌曲旋律把人生的滄桑，從每個音符和氣息間流露出如此豐沛的情感?
如此的情感巨大能量，我怎可能還去住亦聲音是否完美高音是否依然漂亮而不受感動而淚濕?


雖然是一首福音歌曲，但就像虔誠基督徒的香菇頭夥伴小雞雞Maggie 看到達賴也是深受感動一般
我這個佛教徒同樣感受到 Whitney Houston 從上帝那得到的勇氣!
更何況我是從她一出到時的"大珠小珠落玉盤"的聲音，跟隨到現在
就算聲音部在完美 但Whitney Houston 歷經滄桑後人生豐沛情感實在是太震撼我了!
能聽到她重新站起的聲音，怎能不淚濕阿?!

這首聲音情感豐沛到讓聽者動容的福音歌曲 I Look To You， 和下面那個影片檔火熱出爐的現場感人表演 -- I Didn't Know My Own Strength
也是 Whitney Houston 以過來人的滄桑經歷告訴我們：
「人生無常不要太難過，人生有很多風雨，我也是這樣走過!」

I Look To You
(Music and Lyrics by R. Kelly)

(Verse 1)
As I lay me down 我躺下來
Heaven hear me now 上天請祢傾聽我
I'm lost without a cause 我迷失了自己
After giving it my all 付出了所有

Winter storms have come 暴風雪來臨
And darkened my sun 天空一片昏暗
After all that I've been through 一切苦難後
Who on earth can I turn to? 我還能投靠誰?

(Chorus)
I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
After all my strength is gone 雖然力氣已用盡
In you I can be strong 在祢身上 我尋得力量

I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
And when melodies are gone 即便世界鴉雀無聲
In you I hear a song 在祢身上 依舊聽見歌唱
I look to you 我仰望著祢


(Verse 2)
After I lose my breath 剩下最後一口氣
There's no more fighting left 戰到一兵一卒
Thinking to rise no more 再也站不起來
Searching for that open door 只想找到出口


And every road that I've taken 所有的嘗試
Led to my regret 最終都令人懊悔不已
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it 不知道能不能撐過去
Nothing to do but lift my head 我只能抬起頭來

(Chorus)
I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
After all my strength is gone 雖然力氣已用盡
In you I can be strong 在祢身上 我尋得力量

I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
And when melodies are gone 即便世界鴉雀無聲
In you I hear a song 在祢身上 依舊聽見歌唱
I look to you 我仰望著祢

(Bridge)
My levees are broken (oh Lord) 我的城池被攻破
My walls have come (coming down on me) 城牆倒了下來
tumbling down on me (All the rain is falling) 重重壓在身上
The rain is falling 大雨無情地撲打
Defeat is calling (set me free) 眼看就要徹底輸了
I need you to set me free 祈求祢拯救我
Take me far away from the battle 帶我遠離戰場
I need you 我需要祢
Shine on me 照耀我 給我光明

(Chorus)
I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
After all my strength is gone 雖然力氣已用盡
In you I can be strong 在祢身上 我尋得力量

I look to you 我只能仰望祢
I look to you 注視著祢
And when melodies are gone 即便世界鴉雀無聲
In you I hear a song 在祢身上 依舊聽見歌唱
I look to you 我仰望著祢

I look to you...仰望著祢...
I look to you... 仰望著祢...








曾經是現場演唱總是唱到全場起立鼓掌的當代首席天后
這女人的現場魅力終於又出現了!
或許是真的太老了
怎會被這女人吃的死死的?? = =


I Didn't Know My Own Strength
(Music/Lyrics by Diane Warren)

(Verse 1)
Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
I thought it would be the end of me
I thought I'd never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I thought I would break

(Chorus)
I didn't know my own strength
I crashed down and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

(Verse 2)
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to light my way out of the dark
Found all that I need, here inside of me
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought that I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break

(Chorus)
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

(Bridge)
There were so many times
I wondered how I would get through the night
I thought I took all that I could take

(Chorus)
Didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour (Yes I did)
My faith kept me alive (Kept me alive)
I picked myself back up
I hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

I was not built to break
I got to know my own strength
惠妮休斯頓之我的力量
詞曲: 黛安華倫 翻譯: 愛惠旗艦店

曾經
失去靈魂
無處可去 無路可走
不見夢想
以為末日已至
以為我熬不過
手抓不到希望
以為我會崩潰


原來我有股力量
雖然重重跌下 雖然摔的不輕
卻沒有粉身碎骨
熬過了所有痛苦

原來我有股力量
讓我走過最黑暗的時刻
信仰支持我活下去
我努力讓自己爬起來
我抬頭挺胸
崩潰不是我的宿命
因為我有股力量

後來
希望失而復得
循著光走出黑暗
原來一切所需都在身上
還以為永遠走不出
還以為再也提不起
還以為就此崩潰


原來我有股力量
雖然重重跌下 雖然摔的不輕
卻沒有粉身碎骨
熬過了所有痛苦

原來我有股力量
讓我走過最黑暗的時刻
信仰支持我活下去
我努力讓自己爬起來
我抬頭挺胸
崩潰不是我的宿命
因為我有股力量


我也不知道
如何熬過多少痛苦夜晚
以為我再也無法承受


原來我有股力量
雖然重重跌下 雖然摔的不輕
卻沒有粉身碎骨
熬過了所有痛苦

原來我有股力量
讓我走過最黑暗的時刻
信仰支持我活下去
我努力讓自己爬起來
我抬頭挺胸
崩潰不是我的宿命
因為我有股力量

崩潰不是我的宿命
終於了解我的力量
