4.What if She is an Angel
There''s a man, standing on the corner,
一个男子站在街角
With a sign saying: "Will work for food."
身边的标示告之他已失去了工作
You know the man, you see him every morning,
你每天清晨都能看见他
The one you never give your money to.
只是你从不施舍
You can sit there with your window rolled up,
你安逸的坐在窗前
Wonderin'' when the light''s gonna turn green.
寻思着何时黄昏来临
Never knowing what a couple more bucks,
却从不曾想到男子口袋里的几个钱币
In his pocket might mean.
对他的意义
What if he''s an angel sent here from heaven?
倘若他是下凡的天使
And he''s making certain that you''re doing your best,
看你是否尽力
To take the time to help one another:
帮助别人
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
朋友,你会通过这个测试吗?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
你可以一如既往的打发日子
Trying to forget what you saw in his face.
抹去那张脸在你脑海中的记忆
Knowing deep down you could have been his savin'' grace.
但你深知自己本来有帮助他的机会
What if he''s an angel?
倘若他是天使?
There''s a man, and there''s a woman,
一对夫妻
Livin'' right above you in apartment G.
住在你楼上
There''s a lot of noise comin'' through the ceiling,
透过天花板你能听到
And it don''t sound like harmony.
争执声此起彼伏
You can sit there with your TV turned up,
你可以安然开大你电视的声音
While the words in his anger fly.
当他的怒吼声传来
But come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on,
而次日看着她受伤的印记
Can you look her in the eye?
你是否有勇气看着她的眼睛?
What if she''s an angel sent here from heaven?
倘若她是下凡的天使?
And she''s making certain that you''re doing your best,
她想知道你是否尽力
To take the time to help one another:
去帮助别人
Brother, are you gonna pass that test?
朋友,你会通过这个测试吗?
You can go on with your day-to-day,
你可以一如既往打发日子
Tryin'' to forget what you saw in her face.
并抹去那张脸在你脑海中记忆
Knowing deep down you could have been her savin'' grace.
但你深知你曾有帮助她的机会
What if she''s an angel?
倘若她是天使
A little girl, on daddy''s lap,
一个小女孩坐在父亲的膝上
Hidin'' her disease with a baseball cap.
她的棒球帽遮住了她病痛的模样
You can turn the channel, most people do.
你可以像很多人那样换个频道
But what if you were sitting in her daddy''s shoes?
但倘若你是女孩的父亲你会作何感受?

简介
你可能对喧嚣、嘈杂的都市生活有些厌倦，你希望让自己躁动的心平静下来，你不解为什么这个世界并不象曾经想象的那样美好，那么你可以感受一下Tommy Shane Steiner（汤米・谢恩・斯戴纳）真诚的述说。也许，这里正是你能够休憩的角落，能够令你释然的世界……
初见歌名“What if she's an angel”，以为这是一首情歌，但细细一听，其实不然。富有磁性的嗓音，娓娓诉说式的旋律，旨在传达歌手真诚的劝说：请善待他人，即使面对陌生人，在他们有困难的时候，我们也应该伸出援助之手。
听着这首歌，不由得想起韦唯的《爱》，它们表达了相同的主题。但和后者直接而富于激情的演绎不同的是，“what if she's an angel”并没有正面的劝导，而是描绘了三个典型的场景，并反复地提问“Brother,are you gonna pass that test?”和“What if she's an angel?”来引发听者的思考，唤醒人们的良知。
不管别人如何，这首歌令我感慨万分，并引发了我许多的思索和回忆……我记起了曾因给乞讨者十元钱而被同学讥笑而后自己很很后悔的时候；记起了以后遇见类似情况我会置若罔闻、置身事外的时候；记起了在公车上自己正在犹豫是否让座给老人而别人却已站起来的时候……
没错，“一个人的力量是很渺小的”，但有的时候一个人的力量是巨大的。“Never knowing what a couple more bucks in his pocket might mean”――举手之劳在你看来微不足道，但对有困难的人来说可能至关重要。如果你能够善待他人，你的精神就会影响别人，别人再去影响“别人”，这样，你的周围会被真诚渐渐改变……
种下快乐的种子，你会收获快乐；种下冷漠的种子，同样你会得到冷漠。要快乐还是要痛苦？一切抉择全在于你自己。
“Never knowing what a couple more bucks in his pocket might mean”――举手之劳在你看来微不足道，但对有困难的人来说可能至关重要。
每次听这首歌都有感动．
