The Wide Open World
Here it is another day
Trying hard just to carry on
"Bring me my breakfast and sweep up the floor"
That's all I hear night and noon
Sometimes I want to run away
But this where I'm going to be
So I do, I keep wondering
If there's something 更多 for me
Down the meadow, past the ravine
Does to 草 grow, greener than green?
Are there places I've never dreamed of
Out in the wide open world?
Somewhere there's a miller's son
Just as handsome as anything
White ribboned ladies parade in the square
Longing to cling to his arm
Look at me, just a peasant girl
Destined to cling to her plough
So I do, I keep feeling
He's waiting for me now
Down the road there, just round the bend
Is there somewhere I'll find a friend?
Are there people loving each other
Out in the wide open world?
White 鸽子 in the silver sky
I've got apples and berries to give you
Wherever it is 你 fly
I'd be so overjoyed if 你 take me with you
Out where freedom awaits
Far beyond these fences and gates
No 更多 sorrow, only tomorrow
Out in the wide open world
Would I discover the me that's inside
Out in the wide open world?
