Let Your Light Shine -- Ellen Bailey
让自身发光--艾伦·贝利

Does the light of your soul still shine
你灵魂的光是否耀眼四射
Is it still a beacon that others can find
它是否还能被他人发现感知到
Or does a guilty conscience cover it like a film
又是否被如幕布般的内疚感遮盖
Dulling its rays and causing it to look dim
而变得暗淡无光昏沉阴暗
Do you tell yourself everything is just fine
你是否告诉自己世间万物皆美好
Ignoring the needs of others as if blind
无视他人的需求仿佛双目失明
What about those who have gone astray
比如那些误入歧途的人

让自身发光

And those who are lonely and afraid
再如那些孤独怯弱的人
Search your heart and see what you find
认真思考一下看看自己发现了什么
Ask yourself if you have been unkind
扪心自问是否与人为善
Good deeds alone will not get you into Heaven
单调的善行无法叩响天堂的大门
Extend a helping hand to your fallen brethren
扶一把你身陷囹圄的手足吧
It will clear your conscience and erase your sins
如此你的良知得以洗涤罪恶得以清除
And the light of your soul will be bright again
灵魂之光也会再次迸射
Others will look upon you as a beacon of hope
于别人眼中你就成了希望
As down life's road they struggle and cope
当他们挣扎于人生的下坡路途
