Here Was A Man - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bill Walker/Johnny Bond/Tex Ritter[00:00:00]
Here was a man a man[00:00:11]
Who was born in a small village[00:00:14]
The son of a peasant woman[00:00:16]
He grew up in another small village[00:00:18]
Until he reached the age of thirty[00:00:22]
He worked as a carpenter[00:00:24]
Then for three years[00:00:26]
He was a traveling minister[00:00:27]
But he never traveled more[00:00:29]
Than two hundred miles from[00:00:30]
Where he was born and[00:00:32]
Where he did go he usually walked[00:00:34]
He never held political office[00:00:38]
He never wrote a book[00:00:41]
Never bought a home[00:00:43]
Never had a family[00:00:44]
He never went to college[00:00:46]
And he never set foot inside a big city[00:00:48]
Yes here was a man[00:00:50]
Yes here was a man[00:00:54]
Though he never did one on the things[00:00:56]
Usually associated with greatness[00:00:58]
He had no credentials but himself[00:01:02]
He had nothing to do with this world[00:01:05]
Except through the divine purpose[00:01:07]
That brought him to this world[00:01:10]
While he was still a young man[00:01:13]
The tide of popular opinion turned against him[00:01:15]
Most of his friends ran away[00:01:20]
One of them denied him[00:01:22]
One of them betrayed him[00:01:24]
And turned him over to his enemies[00:01:26]
Then he went through the mockery of a trial[00:01:29]
And was nailed to a cross between two thieves[00:01:32]
And even while he was dying[00:01:38]
His executioners gambled[00:01:41]
For the only piece of property[00:01:43]
That he had in this world[00:01:45]
And that was his robe his purple robe[00:01:47]
When he was dead[00:01:53]
He was taken down from the cross[00:01:55]
And laid in a borrowed grave[00:01:57]
Provided by compassionate friends[00:01:59]
More than nineteen centuries have come and gone[00:02:04]
And today he's a centerpiece of the human race[00:02:07]
Our leader in the column to human destiny[00:02:10]
I think I'm well within the mark when I say[00:02:15]
That all of the armies that ever marched[00:02:18]
All of the navies that ever sailed the seas[00:02:21]
All of the legislative bodies that ever sat[00:02:24]
And all of the kings that ever reigned[00:02:27]
All of them put together have not affected[00:02:30]
The life of man on this earth[00:02:33]
So powerfully as that one solitary life[00:02:35]
Here was a man[00:02:41]
