近日的 “熱門” 話題當然是國內四川的地震災難，每日從四方八面的媒體都報導著：救人、失去家園及親人的專題，就這事件，對比三十多年前的中國，我都發覺極巨大的轉變，一，現在當然是國富力強 (溫總下令撥出79憶人民幣救災) 二，人心的轉變，記得初開放時，到國內探親或旅遊，人們穿的都衣服只有兩種顏色 － 灰 / 藍，面上每人都像是對四週漠不關心的樣子 (文革禍害)，一片死沈沈的，但在是次災難後，全國都響應聲援或作出實際行動來支持救災工作，一幕幕感動的畫面，令人動容，天地雖不仁，卻彰顯人類至善的一面，多次忍著眼淚，心中默默的祝福死難者、死難者家人、各參予請救工作的人員……….

可喜的是認識的一些樂友忽然 “歸宗列祖” ，再次表示是 “喜歡民歌的朋友” 或 “all the folkers” (因為發覺近這幾年來很多樂友都很怕被人喚作民歌樂隊或民歌手，怕引以為恥，但卻又經常掛著民歌的牌頭) 也響應舉辨歌唱晚會作籌款，雖然不知道會否受邀之列，亦希望他們的善心可以令演唱會成功。

Don't let the light go out! It's lasted for so many years! Don't let the light go out! Let it shine through our love and our tears.......... (Light One Candle – Peter Yarrow)

謹代表我的樂隊 (Tri’s Hi’s) ，送一首歌曲給受災的小朋友 － Day Is Done (Words and Music by Peter Yarrow)



Tell me why you're crying, my son
I know you're frightened, like everyone
Is it the thunder in the distance you fear?
Will it help if I stay very near?
I am here.

Refrain:

And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
And if you take my hand my son
All will be well when the day is done.
Day is done, Day is done
Day is done, Day is done

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?
You shall inherit what mankind has done.
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
If you ask me why this is so, I really don't know.

(Refrain)

Tell me why you're smiling my son
Is there a secret you can tell everyone?
Do you know more than men that are wise?
Can you see what we all must disguise
through your loving eyes?

(Refrain)

嗯，忽然醒起緬甸早前的風災，據說有十多萬人受災，該國軍政府卻封閉了資訊，更不允許外國的協助………有沒有人記起他們呢？
