Madonna: Like A Prayer

　　当Madonna在海德公园牵起博哈姆·沃尔多的手时，台下响起了长久的掌声。后者是一名埃塞俄比亚妇女，险些在二十年前的非洲大饥荒中丧生，当年Liveaid演唱会的筹款帮助她度过了灾难。如今她站在这里参加Live8的慈善演出，有着强烈的纪念意义。
　　Madonna在这场20分钟的露面中演出了三首歌曲：Like A Prayer，Ray of Light和Music。相比之下1989年出品的Like A Prayer算是一首经典老歌了，出现在这样的场合中非常合适，大家不妨欣赏一下这首歌曲(点击下载)。下面是歌词：

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Chorus:
When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I’ll take you there

I hear your voice, it’s like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God I think I’m falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

(chorus)

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You’re in control just like a child
Now I’m dancing
It’s like a dream, no end and no beginning
You’re here with me, it’s like a dream
Let the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there
It’s like a dream to me
