A Half A Mile A Day - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
One night after a concert[00:00:04]
I walked through the streets of the town[00:00:06]
And came upon a little church[00:00:08]
The service was over but the testimonials had just begun[00:00:10]
People caught up in the spririt of the night[00:00:13]
Just didn't want to leave[00:00:15]
So I stepped inside the door[00:00:17]
And sat down by a little old lady in the back[00:00:18]
A man stood up in front and said[00:00:22]
"I just want all of you to know that[00:00:25]
I'm going straight to heaven as fast as I can go[00:00:27]
Like an arrow shot frome a bow" and he sat down[00:00:30]
Another man stood up and said[00:00:34]
I'm sailing right straight into heaven[00:00:37]
Like a giant clipper ship sailing on a sea of blue[00:00:39]
And nothings gonna deter me or keep me from that safe harbor[00:00:43]
He sat down and another man stood up and said[00:00:48]
I'm flying into the portals of heaven on silver wings[00:00:50]
Sailing over all the troubles and trials down below[00:00:55]
Straight on in and he sat down[00:00:59]
The little lady beside me made it to her feet slowly[00:01:02]
And all got quiet as she raised her face[00:01:05]
Not to the preacher or the congregation[00:01:08]
But toward heaven and prayerfully said[00:01:10]
I'm comming Lord for my heavenly reward[00:01:17]
I'm on my way to You can You see me coming through [00:01:27]
Through clouds of persecution and stumbling on the way[00:01:36]
But I expect I'm making about a half a mile a day[00:01:46]
The road to Heaven doesn't have a rapid transit plan[00:01:58]
It's one way with no changes going to the promised land[00:02:08]
But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say[00:02:18]
Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day[00:02:26]
Mmh[00:02:36]
Lord when I let You lead I don't make any speed[00:02:48]
'Cos I have to stop and touch the ones who need so much[00:02:58]
And then sometimes others pull me off of Your narrow way[00:03:08]
And by my mistakes I barely make a half a mile a day[00:03:17]
But the road to Heaven doesn't have a rapid transit plan[00:03:30]
It's one way with no changes going to the promised land[00:03:39]
But I believe that if I'll heed the things He had to say[00:03:49]
Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day[00:03:58]
Even I might get to Heaven at a half a mile a day[00:04:08]
