[00:00.00] 作曲 : Terence Teo

[00:23.10]Long Ago,there was a bird who sang

[00:24.93]but just once in her life

[00:27.61]From the moment she left the nest

[00:29.39]she searched the longest leaf for a thorn tree

[00:32.21]never resting until she found one

[00:36.04]Then she began to sing

[00:38.01]more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth

[00:43.37]But carry away in the rapturous honor song

[00:46.84]she impaled herself on the longest, sharpest thorn

[00:52.68]As she was dying

[00:54.94]she rose above her own agony to

[00:56.00]out-sing even the lark and the nightingale.

[01:00.80]The thorn bird traded her life for that one song and

[01:04.33]the whole world was captured to listen

[01:07.56]And God, in His heaven smiles

[01:13.63]As her very best was brought out only of the cost of great pain

[01:19.77]Driven by the thorn, with no fear for her death to come

[01:24.72]But when we push the thorn into our breast

[01:28.93]We know

[01:30.69]We understand

[01:32.68]And still we choose the pain of the thorn
