歌曲歌詞

Money is not evil by itself

錢本身無罪

Its just paper with perceived value to obtain other things we value in other ways

它只是一張感知價值的紙，我們用來獲得其他物品的一種方式

If not money – what is evil you may ask?

如果錢無罪，那你會問什麼有罪？

Evil is the unquenchable, obsessive and moral bending desire for more

罪是止不住的、令人著迷的、道德扭曲的貪慾

Evil is the bottomless, soulless and obsessive-compulsive pursuit of some pot of gold

罪是無止盡的、無靈魂的、強迫性的逐利

at the end of some rainbow which doesn’t exist

那些並不存在的彩虹之巔

Evil is having a price tag for your heart and soul in exchange for financial success at any cost

罪是在交易成功時心和靈魂的價標

Evil is trying to buy happiness, again and again

罪是試圖買回幸福，並樂此不疲

until all of those fake, short lived mirages of emotions are gone

直到那些虛假、短暫的心靈幻境消逝

Make more time

賺取更多時間

I’m not saying you can’t be financially successful

我不是說你不該追求經濟上的成功

I’m saying have a greater purpose in life well beyond the pursuit of financial success

而是說有一個更偉大的生命目標會比追逐金錢上的成功超然

Your soul is screaming for you to answer your true calling

你的靈魂正為你最真切的呼喚而尖叫

You can change today if you redefine what success is to you

你可以改變現在，只要你重新定義何為成功

You can transform your damaged relationships and build new ones

你可以轉變你破損的人際關係並重建

You can forgive yourself and others who’ve hurt you

你可以原諒自己以及那些傷害過你的人

You can become a leader by mentoring with others who you aspire to be like

在你曾渴望成為的那些人的輔導下，你也可以變成一個領袖

You can re-balance your priorities in life

你可以調整生命中的優先權

You can heal your marriage and recreate a stronger love than you ever thought possible

你可以治癒你的婚姻並重建比你想像中更強烈的愛

You can become the best parent possible at any age – even 86

你可以變成最好的父母，甚至到86歲仍是如此

but don’t wait until then…

但別等到那時

You will always be able to make more money

你總會有能力賺更多錢

But you cannot make more time

但你卻不能賺取更多時間
