我的天使 & In the Arms of the Angel (歌曲)

我的天使

我問上帝
為什麼此時才給我一個天使
上帝笑著說
他原本就是指派給妳的天使
只是妳隔了二十五年才發現
天使從未離開過妳
他默默地關注著妳守護著妳
他讓妳幸福地過著妳的人生

我問上帝
為什麼此時才讓我知道天使的存在
上帝笑著說
你們人類太愚蠢
早些讓妳知道妳也不會在乎
現在時機到了
妳才會感恩天使為妳做的事情
妳才會珍惜天使帶給妳的幸福

我不再問上帝為什麼
我安然地躺在天使的臂彎裡
彷彿躺在柔軟青綠的草原上
擺脫了塵世間的憂煩與疲累
天使讓我體驗重回青春的喜悅
天使讓我感知身心交融的美麗

我閉著雙眼緊抱著天使
用心撫觸天使每一吋肌膚
因為撫觸的記憶不會消失
當我不能躺在天使的臂彎裡時
我依然能靠著撫觸的記憶
深刻地感受到天使的存在

我對上帝說
我感激此時讓我與天使真正地交會
雖然天使早已悄悄地走入我的生命
但現在的我
更珍惜天使給我的難得之愛
更瞭解天使對我的特別意義

我請求上帝
如果天使自己也可以有守護天使
請讓我當他身後隱形的守護天使
當我的天使疲累時
請讓他安然地躺在我的臂彎裡
請讓他享有我帶給他獨有的幸福

In the Arms of the Angel
 這是 1998 年我一個人在美國念博士時,常聽的一首歌,至今仍記得看那部電影"City of Angels"的感動,以及聽到這首歌的震撼。一開始是被它的旋律所吸引,然後開始讀歌詞。我想像自己在 Angel 的臂膀裡,什麼都不用說,什麼都不必做,然後得到了全然的溫暖、瞭解、平靜,與被接納。我不必隱藏自己,我可以真正的放鬆,坦然面對 Angel,而 Angel 知道我需要什麼樣的擁抱與安慰!

I'm glad that I do have angels accompanying me and taking care of me at different stages of my life. I'm grateful that I'm truly blessed :-).

In the Arms of the Angel (1998)

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
