Less Like Scars by Sara Groves

這一年不好過

Its been a hard year

不過我漸漸從瓦礫堆中爬出來

But Im climbing out of the rubble

這些功課學得艱辛

These lessons are hard

傷痛只得到些微醫治

Healing changes are subtle

但是， 那些傷痛日漸

But every day its

不太像拆毀 ，更像是建造

Less like tearing, more like building

不太像被囚禁，更像是甘心受磨練

Less like captive, more like willing

不太像崩潰，更像是交出主權

Less like breakdown, more like surrender

不太像往事陰魂不散，更像是記念成長

Less like haunting, more like remember

我感覺得到你與我同在

And I feel you here

你正撿拾縫補碎片

And youre picking up the pieces

永遠信守要幫助我的承諾

Forever faithful

情況看起來很糟，非我所能掌控

It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation

可是你有能力改變

But you are able

在你手中，那些傷痛

And in your hands the pain and hurt

變得不太像傷痕，更像是

Look less like scars and more like

不太像監獄，更像是我的起居室

Less like a prison, more like my room

不太像禁錮生命的盒子，更像是孕育生命的子宮

Its less like a casket, more like a womb

不太像痛不欲生，更像是超越苦難

Less like dying, more like transcending

愈來愈不像畏懼，愈來愈不像終結

Less like fear, less like an ending

我感覺得到你與我同在

And I feel you here

你正撿拾縫補碎片

And youre picking up the pieces

永遠信守扶持我的承諾

Forever faithful

情況看起來很糟，非我所能掌控

It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation

可是你有能力改變

But you are able

在你手中，那些傷痛

And in your hands the pain and hurt

變得不太像傷痕

Look less like scars

就在不久之前

Just a little while ago

我感受不到你的能力，沒有盼望

I couldnt feel the power or the hope

我應付不了，對美好的事麻木

I couldnt cope, I couldnt feel a thing

就在不久之前

Just a little while back

我絕望、心碎、筋疲力竭

I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping

希望你來拉我一把

You would come

我需要你

And I need you

我要你在我身邊

And I want you here

感覺到你與我同在

And I feel you

我知道你就在我身邊

And I know youre here

你正撿拾縫補碎片

And youre picking up the pieces

永遠信守要幫助我的承諾

Forever faithful

情況看起來很糟，非我所能掌控

It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation

可是你有能力改變

But you are able

在你手中，那些傷痛

And in your hands the pain and hurt

變得不太像傷痕

Look less like scars (x3)
