《Me and the Sky》歌词:
[00:02.54]My parents must have thought they had a crazy kid
[00:13.14]'Cause I was one of those kids who always knew what I wanted
[00:19.98]They took me down to the airport to see all the planes departing
[00:25.24]Watching them fly something inside of me was starting
[00:28.90]I was eight when I told them that I'd be a pilot
[00:34.71]But I was too young and too short
[00:37.00]and there were no female captains
[00:38.77]and my dad said, "be patient" he said, "just see what happens"
[00:42.48]But I took my first lesson came down from the sky
[00:45.73]and told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life
[00:49.53]And I got my first job flying for a mortician
[00:52.88]in a tiny bonanza, just a corpse and me
[00:56.33]Five dollars an hour for flying dead bodies
[00:59.94]I had to climb over their faces just to get to my seat
[01:03.62]And suddenly the wheels lift off
[01:07.93]the ground is falling backwards
[01:12.23]I am suddenly alive
[01:17.95]Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
[01:21.21]Suddenly everything's changed
[01:24.73]Suddenly I'm not too young or too short
[01:27.88]and the passengers in the back don't complain
[01:31.93]Suddenly I'm flying company charters
[01:35.47]Suddenly everything's high
[01:38.97]Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky
[01:46.77]American Airlines had the prettiest planes
[01:55.23]So I applied as a flight engineer
[01:58.33]But the World War II pilots, they all complained
[02:02.37]They said, "girls shouldn't be in the cockpit"
[02:04.98]"Hey lady, hey baby, hey! Why don't you grab us a drink?"
[02:09.50]And the flight attendants weren't my friends back then
[02:12.69]and they said, "Are you better than us, do you think?"
[02:17.15]But I kept getting hired
[02:21.06]And the World War II crew, they retired
[02:24.27]And the girls all thought much higher of me
[02:28.48]1986 the first female American captain in history
[02:35.04]Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
[02:38.54]Suddenly I've got my wings
[02:42.45]Suddenly all of those pilots protested me
[02:45.95]Well, they can get their own drinks
[02:48.54]Suddenly there's no one saying, "Stay grounded"
[02:52.50]Looking down passing them by
[02:56.21]Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky
[03:02.22]Suddenly I've got an all female crew
[03:05.41]The news talked, it made headlines across the world
[03:09.21]Suddenly it stopped
[03:10.66]No one saying, "You can't" or "You won't"
[03:13.25]or "You know you're not anything 'cause you're a girl"
[03:17.23]Suddenly I'm getting married
[03:19.97]and we're putting pins on the map where we've flown
[03:24.17]Suddenly I am a mother
[03:27.14]and suddenly shocked at how much they've grown
[03:30.85]Suddenly I'm wondering how my parents would feel
[03:35.15]seeing me teaching men to be pilots
[03:38.20]'Cause suddenly I am a senior instructor
[03:41.81]and somehow I'm 51
[03:45.11]Suddenly I'm flying Paris to Dallas
[03:48.68]Across The Atlantic and feeling calm
[03:52.27]When suddenly someone on air to air traffic says
[03:55.88]"At 8:46 there's been a terrorist action"
[03:58.99]And the one thing I loved more than anything
[04:02.09]was used as the bomb
[04:04.05]Suddenly I'm in a hotel
[04:12.52]Suddenly something has died
[04:21.03]Suddenly there's something in between me and the sky

[00:02.54]我父母一定认为他们有一个疯狂的孩子
[00:13.14]只因我总是明白我想要什么
[00:19.98]他们带我到机场去看那起程的飞机
[00:25.24]它们的远航唤醒了我的内心
[00:28.90]那年我八岁,我告诉他们我要成为一名飞行员
[00:34.71]但我太过年轻,太过矮小
[00:37.00]并且这世上从未出现过女飞行员
[00:38.77]我爸爸对我说:“耐心点,等等看会发生些什么。”
[00:42.48]我上了飞向天空的第一堂课
[00:45.73]随后对我爸说我将用我的余生去飞行
[00:49.53]我在殡葬业得到了第一份飞行的工作
[00:52.88]微薄的收入,只有尸体和我
[00:56.33]运送尸体只有每小时五美元
[00:59.94]为来到我的座位我不得不爬过他们
[01:03.62]突然间轮子离开地面
[01:07.93]地面离开视野
[01:12.23]突然间,我充满活力
[01:17.95]突然间,我坐进了驾驶舱
[01:21.21]突然间,一切都在改变
[01:24.73]突然间,我不再年轻,不再矮小
[01:27.88]而后面的乘客还不会抱怨
[01:31.93]突然间,我获得了商飞执照
[01:35.47]突然间,一切变得令人欢欣鼓舞
[01:38.97]我与天空之间也不再有什么阻碍!
[01:46.77]美国航空公司有最棒的飞机
[01:55.23]所以我向他们申请成为随机工程师
[01:58.33]但是那些二战飞行员总是抱怨
[02:02.37]他们说:“女人不应该在驾驶舱”
[02:04.98]“嘿,小姐,宝贝!为什么不去帮我捎杯喝的?”
[02:09.50]那些在后面不友善的空服员说:
[02:12.69]“你认为你比我们强,不是吗?”
[02:17.15]但我仍然被录用
[02:21.06]随后那些二战飞行员退休
[02:24.27]随后那些女孩对我刮目相看
[02:28.48]1986年,我成为美国历史上第一位女机长
[02:35.04]突然间,我可以坐进驾驶舱
[02:38.54]突然间我成为了美国航空的机长
[02:42.45]突然间,所有的抗拒我的飞行员
[02:45.95]呵,他们可以自己去拿喝的
[02:48.54]突然间,不再有人对我说“脚踏实地”
[02:52.50]我向下看着他们的走过
[02:56.21]突然间,我与天空之间不再有什么阻碍
[03:02.22]突然间,我拥有了全体女性机组
[03:05.41]新闻都在谈论,这成了世界的头条
[03:09.21]这一切突然停止
[03:10.66]没有人再说“你不行”或“你不能”
[03:13.25]或“你知道你什么都不是,只因你是女的”
[03:17.23]突然间,我结婚了
[03:19.97]我们在地图上把我们飞过的地方扎上图钉
[03:24.17]突然间,我成为了母亲
[03:27.14]并且惊讶于他们成长的速度
[03:30.85]突然间,我好奇我的父母看到
[03:35.15]如今我在教男人成为一名飞行员会怎么想
[03:38.20]因为如今我已成为一名高级导师
[03:41.81]不知不觉,我已51岁
[03:45.11]飞着巴黎至达拉斯航线
[03:48.68]横跨大西洋,并且心如止水
[03:52.27]直到有人突然在空中交通通讯中说:
[03:55.88]“在今早八点四十六,发生了一场恐怖袭击……”
[03:58.99]我对它的爱超过世间的任何感情
[04:02.09]而它却被用做了炸弹
[04:04.05]突然间,我住进了宾馆
[04:12.52]突然间,某种东西不复存在
[04:21.03]突然间,我与天空之间又重新充满了阻碍……
