Jackson Browne - For America

Текст

As if I really didn't understand

That I was just another part of their plan

I went off looking for the promise

Believing in the Motherland

And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed

And the safety of my own head

I went on speaking of the future

While other people fought and bled

The kid I was when I first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for America, I was made for America

It's in my blood and in my bones

By the dawn's early light, by all I know is right

We're going to reap what we have sown

As if freedom was a question of might

As if loyalty was black and white

You hear people say it all the time

"My country wrong or right"

I want to know what that's got to do

With what it takes to find out what's true

With everyone from the President on down

Trying to keep it from you

The thing I wonder about the dads and moms

Who send their sons to the Vietnam's

Will they really think their way of life

Has been protected as the next war comes?

I have prayed for America, I was made for America

Her shining dream plays in my mind

By the rockets red glare, a generation's blank stare

We better wake her up this time

The kid I was when I first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for America, I was made for America

I can't let go till she comes around

Until the land of the free, is awake and can see

And until her conscience has been found

Перевод

Я как будто и вправду не понимал

Что я был лишь еще одной частью их плана

Я отправился искать обещание

Веря в Родину

И от комфорта о постели мечтателя

И о безопасности собственной головы

Я продолжал говорить о будущем

В то время как другие люди дрались и истекали кровью

Ребенок, которым я был, когда впервые ушел из дома

Искал свободу и собственную жизнь

Но свобода, которую он нашел, была не такой сладкой

Когда правда стала известна

Я молился за Америку, меня сделали для Америки

Это в моей крови и в моих костях

С ранним светом рассвета, насколько я знаю, это правильно

Мы пожнем то, что посеяли

Как будто свобода был вопрос силы

Как будто лояльность была черно-белой

Вы постоянно слышите, как люди говорят это

"Моя страна неправа или права"

Я хочу знать, что это значит делайте

Что нужно, чтобы узнать правду

Со всеми, начиная с президента

Пытаюсь скрыть это от вас

Что меня интересует в папах и мамах

Кто отправляет своих сыновей во Вьетнам

Будут ли они действительно думать, что их образ жизни

Защищен ли он перед следующей войной?

Я молился за Америку, я был создан для Америки

Ее сияющая мечта играет в моей голове

Красный свет ракет, пустой взгляд поколения

На этот раз нам лучше разбудить ее

Ребенок, которым я был, когда впервые ушел из дома

Смотрел за его свободу и собственную жизнь

Но свобода, которую он обрел, была не такой сладкой

Когда правда стала известна

Я молился за Америку, я был создан для Америки

Я не могу отпустить, пока она не придет в себя

Пока земля свободных не проснется и не прозреет

И пока ее совесть не будет найдена
