Wrote A Song For Everyone

　　Creedence Clearwater Revival的一首歌Wrote A Song For Everyone，出自樂隊第三張大碟Green River，時為一九六九年。
　　那個年代反越戰、反服兵役、反不義戰爭、反對種族隔離，爭取男女平等、爭取公義、爭取自由……這是人類追求真善美的必經階段，那時發生在歐美，每天遊行示威、演說論壇，甚至和建制警察發生流血衝突。經過六七十年代洗禮，才見今天的進步文明。
　　那時候Creedence Clearwater Revival主音歌手John Fogerty才二十多歲，開始創作反戰歌曲，見人們為爭取普世價值無私走出來，不畏強權打壓，不為利誘折腰，不畏冷嘲熱諷，不畏黑勢力抹黑，走出來只為心中理想，追求嚮往的夢，因而作了這首為每一個人寫的歌。

Wrote A Song For Everyone (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
John Fogerty

Met myself a coming county welfare line.
I was feeling strung out, Hung out on the line.
Saw myself a going, down to war in June.
All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.

Wrote a song for everyone,
為每個人寫一首歌，
Wrote a song for truth.
為真理寫一首歌。
Wrote a song for everyone,
為每個人寫一首歌，
And I couldn't even talk to you.
那怕不曾與你訴說過。

Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail.
Richmond about to blow up, communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.

Saw the people standing thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?
