As long as I have music

Music by Don Besig, words by Don Besig and Nancy Price


When the world seems far beyond me, and I have no place to go;
When my life seems cold and empty and I feel I'm all alone;
Then a song that I remember helps to ease my troubled mind,
and I find the the strength within me to reach out just one more time.
For as long as I have music, as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my way, I can see a brighter day,
the music in my life will set my spirit free!


When the road is dark and lonely, and I feel I want to cry;
When the dreams I keep inside me seem to fade and almost die;
Then I call upon my music, and it helps to dry my tears.
And I know that I can make it;
I'll go on despite my fears.
For as long as I have music, as long s there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my way, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free, set it free!


每個人的身體本是天生的樂器(除了不能講話的人)，我們有福氣隨時可以把樂器帶著走，還真方便呢!

無論煩勞，快樂或忙著洗碗掃地時，我時常唱唱歌，唱歌可以忘憂，抒懷，提昇情緒意志，甚或消遣殺時間。

人人心中都有自己的歌，無論搖籃曲，民謠，rock，Jazz，流行曲，宗教曲，藝術歌曲甚或國歌，只要真喜歡，那就唱它吧! 唱唱唱，自會有你個人的味道進去了! 慢慢地哼，甚至可哼出一首獨創的歌呢，哇! 我居然也可能是周杰倫、莫札特、或 Andrew Lloyd Weber(<貓>劇等的作曲家)?!是不是很有成就感?

這首As long as I have music是四分溪合唱團十周年演唱會的主題曲。均齡61歲阿公阿嬤們，歷練了大半輩子歲月，無論或樂或苦，本來是獨自品嚐，那晚，他/她們藉由歌聲，唱出來與你我分享。雖是業餘團體，因著豐富的經歷，感情的表達似乎更貼切，更是動人心弦!
