Living On A Prayer (朝不保夕)

高中時期第一次聽到這首歌，只覺得他是一首很好聽的流行搖滾樂曲，聽著隨身聽英文不好的我只能有一句沒一句的跟著唱著...

JON BON JOVI - Living On A Prayer Lyrics

Once upon a time not so long ago:
Tommy used to work on the docks
union's been on strike

He's down on his luck - It's tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day
working for her man

She brings home her pay for love
for love.

She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot for love -
We'll give it a shot.

We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear - livin' on a prayer.

Tommy got his six string in hock.
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk -
So tough
it's tough.
Gina dreams of running away
when she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby
it's okay
someday.

We've got to hold on to what we've got . . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer. . .

We've got to hold on ready or not

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got.

We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer. . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer. . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer. . .

現在的我，對於生活體認深入了些，再次聽到這首歌，彷彿聽到John Bon Jovi再告訴我一個故事，社會基層角落每天都會上演的戲碼，為了生活打拼的人們，對於明天是未知的，只能專注為今日生活奔波，日復一日，茫然的面對未來... 幸運的是能夠擁有相依畏的伴侶...

來到松山路上一處小巷中，佔據防火巷的婦人整理著收集一天的成果...

我沒有為她的生活覺得憐憫，想想自己的人生不也是如此，不過是物質生活優渥了些，對於未來明天，有多掌握了甚麼呢？

Living on a prayer...

除了祈禱，還能怎樣~~
