I dreamed a dream in time gone by， when hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed that love would never die. I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid. And dreams were made and used and wasted. There was no ransom to be paid， no song unsung， no wine untasted. But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder. As they tear your hope apart， as they turn your dream to shame.
　　On my own， pretending he’s beside me. All alone， I walk with him till morning. Without him， I feel his arms around me. And when I lose my way， I close my eyes and he has found me. In the rain， the pavement shines like silver. All the lights are misty in the river. In the darkness， the trees are full of starlight. And all I see is him and me forever and forever！


　　Take my hand， I lead you to salvation. Take my love， for love is everlasting. And remember the truth that once was spoken， to love another person is to see the face of God. Do you hear the people sing lost in the valley of the night？ It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth， there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
　　And I know it’s only in my mind. That I’m talking to myself and not to him， and although I know that he is blind. Still I say there’s a way for us. I love him. But when the night is over， he is gone， the river’s just a river. Without him， the world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere， the streets are full of strangers.
　　曾几何时，我流连梦境，心比天高，人生充满希望。我梦见爱情永不消逝。我梦见上帝慈爱宽恕。那时我多么年轻，多么无畏。随心梦想，从不设防。不必付出什么代价，我们无歌不唱，无酒不尝。然而猛兽在黑夜来袭，如晴天霹雳轰然炸响，活生生撕碎了希望，把美梦变成了懊悔。
　　一个人，假装他在我身旁。孤单单，他陪我走到天亮。他不在，我却能感受到他的拥抱。迷路时，只需闭上双眼，他就会找到我。雨朦胧，地面银光闪烁。看街灯，映河水如烟如梦。黑暗中，树枝间缀满星辰。我仿佛看见我俩相伴，直到永远！
　　牵着我的手，我来领你得到拯救。接受我的爱，因为爱是永恒。并且牢记，那个已揭示过的真理，凡爱他人者，就能见上帝。听啊，人们在歌唱，黑夜幽谷，歌声回荡。那是一个民族在欢呼，翻山越岭见光芒。人间困苦都尝遍，还有一线希望未泯灭。哪怕是长夜漆黑，也将升起太阳。
　　我知道，这不过是我的想象。那些话都是我自言自语，也知道他只会视而不见。但仍觉得，我们还有希望。我爱他，但当黑夜结束，他消失了，河又变回了平凡的河。没有他，我周围的一切都变了。到处都是光秃秃的树木，街上都是陌生的目光。
