Sleep, little one
睡吧,小宝贝
Oh, I can't wait to nest
噢,我只想让你安稳入睡
Grandpa's arms will keep you right
爷爷的怀抱会一直守护着你
Till morning birds it's light
直到晨光破晓,鸟鸣清脆
You don't know the roads I've walked
你不知道我曾走过多少艰辛的路
The tears these eyes have known
这双眼曾流过多少泪水
But when I hold you close like this
但当我像这样紧紧抱着你
I don't feel so alone
我便不再感到孤单
Your daddy once was just like you
你爸爸以前也和你一样
A little hand in mine
小手牵着我的大手
Back when life still made some sense
在那段生活还算正常的时候
I never think felt fine
那时没觉得有什么不好
Then your grandmother went to heaven
后来你奶奶去了天堂
And I lost more than I could bear
我承受了生命中无法承受的打击
I tried to hide my broken heart
我试图掩藏内心的伤痛
But darkness found me there
却终究被黑暗彻底吞噬
I reached for bottles instead of God
我借酒消愁,而非寻求主的救赎
And pushed away the ones I loved
推开了所有我爱的人
Your daddy couldn't watch me fall
你爸爸不忍看我如此沉沦
So one day he gave up
所以有一天,他终于放弃了我
So sleep, my little grandson
睡吧,我的小孙子
Safe beneath God's grace
在主的恩典中安稳入睡
You don't know how much he lives
你不知道他的生命
Inside your face
就在你的眉眼之间显现
Because the Lord who never left me
因为那位从未离我而去的主
When I lost my way
在我迷失方向的时候
Sent a little piece of mercy
赐予我这一份怜悯
Into my today
照亮了我的余生
The years went by like winter winds
岁月如冬风般掠过
Quiet, cold and long
寂静、寒冷又漫长
I prayed for things I'd broken and begged God to make me strong
我为我的过错祈祷,求主赐我力量
And one day your daddy came back
直到有一天你爸爸回来了
With tears inside his eyes
眼里含着泪水
He said, "Dad, let's leave the past behind."
他说:“爸,让过去都过去吧”
And I broke down and cried
我顿时泣不成声
And he placed you in my arms
他把你放在我怀里
And son, I'll never forget
孩子,我永远不会忘记
How God answered years of prayers in a moment I hadn't met
上帝如何在我意想不到的瞬间,回应了多年的祈求
Sleep, my little grandson
睡吧,我的小孙子
Dream beneath God's light
在主的光芒中入梦
The same Lord who carried Grandpa
那位支撑着爷爷的主
Will hold your hands tonight
今晚也会牵着你的手
And if one day life breaks your heart
如果有一天生活让你受伤
As life sometimes can do
就像生活常有的那样
Remember God can rebuild anything
记住主能修复一切
He rebuilt me through you
他正是通过你,让我重获新生
One day you'll hear the stories
总有一天你会听到那些往事
About mistakes I've made
关于我犯下的那些错
How I lost myself in sorrow
我是如何在悲痛中迷失的
After your grandma passed away
在你奶奶离开之后
But I hope you'll also hear this
但我希望你也能听到这些
God's mercy never ends
上帝的慈悲永无止境
Sometimes he sends a grandchild
有时他会赐下一个孙子
To bring a family whole again
让支离破碎的家重归完整
Sleep, my little grandson
睡吧,我的小孙子
While Grandpa watches you
爷爷会一直守着你
The greatest gift God gave me
上帝赐给我最珍贵的礼物
Was something new
是一个全新的开始
It was a second chance at family
是家庭给我的第二次机会
A second chance at love
是重新去爱的机会
Wrapped inside two tiny hands
就握在你那一双小手里
Sent from heaven above
那是来自天堂的馈赠
And when I'm gone, remember this
等我不在了,请记住这些
Before my life was through
在我这一生结束之前
God healed an old man's broken heart
上帝治愈了一个老人的伤痛
Through you
全是因为有了你
