Jimmy Wayne - Paper Angels (折纸天使)
After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale the malls just ain't complete
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
There's artificial smile on the artificial tree limbs
Saying what she'd love to have and what to buy for him
Well I hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes and her buggy with a baby doll
And maybe Tom'll smile in his new Nike shoes when he shoots that basketball
I can't help but wishing that I could do more
But not just while I'm shopping in the department store
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
He's asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
Going through the mail almost every afternoon
I see a Mom and Dad's worst dream
There on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleaned
Height, weight, hair, eyes, date missin, and DOB
A child's name, picture, and the words 'have you seen me?'
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
He's asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
His documented bruises fill a folder in a file
She's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
We've got to stop this madness and it's up to you and me
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
He's asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
paper angels everywhere
在以节日为主题的乡村单曲中,Jimmy Wayne根据自己亲身经历所创作的《Paper Angels》取得了九年以来最高的排名.在美国,慈善组织“救世军”通过“天使树行动”让许多生活困窘的孩子都能在节日收到一份礼物,儿时的他也曾是受助者之一。Jimmy的童年无比艰辛,MV中他还特意穿上了14岁流落街头时所穿的夹克,“那时袖子长到足以包住我交握的双手”Jimmy说,“我创作这首歌不仅是为了唤起人们对儿童的关注,更是为了要向那对在16岁时收留我的夫妇表达由衷的谢意。”Jimmy渴望能够帮助那些和自己一样不幸的孩子,他现在正同“救世军”合作,通过有着30多年历史的“天使树行动”为全美超过100万儿童提供节日礼物。只要哪里的歌迷答应赠送玩具他就会把演唱会开到哪里,每次演出结束后的签名会上,Jimmy总会把“救世军”的红水壶放在桌边,以引起大家对慈善事业的关注。“他对那些孩子的同情胜过我们当中的每一个人”一位“救世军”的工作人员说,“他曾有过和那些孩子一样的经历,能够最真切地体会到没有礼物所带来的沮丧与失落。”
