生命的第一天

多少個輾轉(zhuǎn)難眠的夜晚，心底會涌起一股莫名的恐慌和彷徨，懷疑周圍的一切，懷疑活著的意義。尋找，流浪，迷失，來來回回兜兜轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)地生活。就像是斷線的風(fēng)箏，以為自己不斷地向高處尋覓，卻不斷地迷失方向，不知歸處；就像是深陷泥濘的困獸，動彈不得，前進一步荊棘密布，后退一步迷霧籠罩，找不到出路……

或許這就是所謂成長的痛吧。越長大越孤單，世界越來越大，卻也越來越陌生。于是開始懷念生命里的第一天，只有初來乍到的喜悅，沒有世俗的紛紛擾擾，一切單純而美好。可是，時光不能倒流，生命不能重來一次，既然如此，何不換個角度思考：把現(xiàn)在的每一天都當做生命中的第一天來過？生命重新開始的第一天，拋棄那些迂腐的陳舊觀念和痛徹心扉的過往，重拾信心和勇氣，一路歡笑地走下去。

這首歌的原唱是意大利的盲人高音歌唱家Andrea Bocelli(安德烈·波切利)，前“辣妹組合”成員Melanie C(梅拉妮)和法語樂壇天王級唱將Garou(加魯)翻唱了這首歌的英文版，三個版本都不錯，各有特色。(兩種英語版本的歌詞略有差異，本文采用的是Garou版本的歌詞)

So I found a reason to stay alive

To try a little harder

See the other side

Talking to myself

Too many sleepless nights

Try to find a reason to this stupid life

I don't want your sympathy

Sometimes I don't know who to be

Hey what you looking for

No one knows the answer

They just want more

Hey who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

So I found a reason to let it go

Tell you that I'm smiling

But I still need to grow

Will I find salvation in the arms of love

Will it stop me searching

Will it be enough

I don't want your sympathy

Sometimes I don't know who to be

Hey what you looking for

No one knows the answer

But you just want more

Hey who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

The first time to really feel alive

The first time to break the chain

The first time to walk away from pain

Hey what you looking for

No one has the answer

They just want more

Hey who's gonna make it right

This could be the first day of my life

Hey what you looking for

No one has the answer

But they just want more

Hey who's gonna shine a light

This could be the first day of my life
