Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me)

There's a beggar
In the city
He walks on his bare feet
His wife lies sick in the gutter
His daughter works the streets
But the beggar doesn't worry about those things
Poverty almost makes him sing!
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

There's a worker
From Bangladesh
Building houses in Qatar
Football stadiums and hotels
Rising up to reach the stars
But the scaffold gives way and that's the end
For our worker and thousands of his friends
You might find it strange
But on their minds as they fell to death
Was the threat from climate change

There's a family man
In China
He's a slave in a factory
Making lots of plastic stuff
That's shipped to you and me
And the sweatshop's open day and night
Who cares about workers' rights?
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

Little brother
Walking home
You're now on CCTV
When you stop for a hot dog
The authorities can see
The police reads your life like an open book
But hey! We can't let terrorists off the hook...
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

These new cars
They are so smart
They don't need energy
Just use the socket on your wall
And charge the battery
They drive by themselves in a long steely chain
It almost looks like (what's it called....?) a railroad train!
It's hard to believe, but it's true:
Electricity is a magic thing
That appears out of the blue!

■歌詞
この世界に生まれてきた　訳も分からず
それぞれに　別々の　心を持って
豚さんも牛さんもこの魚さんも
みんな血が流れているんだよって

どこかの街のレストランで
どこかの父親が子供にそうやって教えていたのさ

溶けて　混ざって　どこまでも　
広がっていく命　寂しくなんかないよ　
ここにいるから

夢の中で　現れた　あなたは　僕の目の前
思わず涙があふれてしまって
どんなに会いたかったか伝えたんだけど
祖母の目は　真っ黒で　僕は全てを知る

そこで目が覚めて　涙をぬぐって
悲しさはしまって
手を伸ばせば　そこに　いるはずだから

溶けて　混ざって　どこまでも　
広がっていった　寂しくなんかないよ
全ては　つながって　いる事を知ったから

■ Lyrics (translation)
Born in this world
Without knowing what it is
Each has a different heart
Pig, cow, this fish
Everyone's blood is flowing

At a restaurant in some city
Some father was teaching his child that way.

Life that melts and mixes and spreads forever
I'm not lonely
Because everyone is here

You appeared in front of me in a dream
Involuntarily tears overflowed
I told you how much I wanted to meet
My grandmother's eyes were pitch black and I understood everything at that time

I woke up there and wiped my tears
Sadness is gone
If I reach out, you should be there

It melted and mixed and spread forever
I'm never lonely
I understand that everything is connected

My Wonderful Dream
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I once had a dream,
A dream, you know,
Where we held each other close,
And never let one another go
I had a dream 
Where we’d be side by side
And maybe, by chance,
One day you’d be my bride.

Some dreams,
they just come and go,
big ones, small ones,
Even the ones we hold on to so
They grow old, they become trivial, 
but some can’t let go. 

From something mundane
To something glorious. 
That’s what those dreams are for,
That’s what those dreams are for,
The dreams we had when young
When were both reaching for the stars,
Those were wonderful dreams,
Those were wonderful dreams,

And then the day came,
When you let your dreams be mine,
And you stood and held my hand,
And you said I’ll never leave you behind.

And if there are dreams,
you can’t seem to impress,
I’ll take those dreams,
And I’ll give them my best. 

Dreams come and go 
But one dream was meant to be so,
You never left that dream behind,
You never let that dream to die,
When you promised to follow me to the earth and back,
You became my dream,
My only dream I’d never lack,

You are, you always will be, the embodiment of that dream,
You are my dream,
You’re the only dream I’ve ever had,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream.  


So here’s to you my dream woman,
May I never find a dream without your dreams at my side,
My dream girl, my dream woman,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 

I love you my dream woman,

May we keep dreaming for many more years to come.

My Wonderful Dream

Lord, help me make it, through every day,
Lord, help me find, a much better way,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
Lord, help me make it through each day

You guide us all through our path in life,
Through the rough and the smooth
The bliss and the strife,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
You guide us all through our path in life,

Floating like an angel, through the clouds in the sky,
So many questions with no need to wonder why

Lord, help me make it, through every day,
Lord, help me find, a much better way,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
Lord, help me make it through each day

Floating like an angel, through the clouds in the sky,
So many questions with no need to wonder why

Lord help me make it, through every day

Floating Like An Angel
