他曾說過, Everyone was once a child. 用失落已久的小孩比喻失去的赤子之心.
類似的格言:Everyone has a child inside. 每個人心裡都有小孩!
Mindy Gledhill用童話場景的比喻方式,找尋自己心中小時候的模樣,
卻發現現實、欺騙和狡詐讓她遠離了自己最純真的童心。
歌曲中動人的旋律,描寫在找尋自我的旅途中,又藏著不願向現實低頭的勇氣。
謊言與純真拉扯著跟著現實成長自己,她用堅強而令人動容的空靈歌聲,
刻畫出因為長大而逐漸失去自我的無力感。
Lyrics:
Deep within my memory
Where the grass grows to my knees
Where sparrows sing, and all creation speaks to me.
Where clouds rain in noonday sky
With castles, kings, and queens
Where hopes and dreams, and angels' wings are common things
A long lost child falls behind
And now she is miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
She's been away awhile
Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
Across the Swanee River
And down in Golden Glen
I saw her face, but I can't quite remember when
It's a game of hide and seeking
So tell me, where'd she go?
Perhaps if I inquire, the Brothers Grimm may know?
Oh, a long lost child left behind
She must be miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
She's been away awhile
Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
Oh, long lost child left behind
You must be miles and miles from the present time
And just like the birds that fly across the sky
You've been away awhile
Oh, but I will find you, free from all guile
Beautifully wild
Long lost child
