Jesus, Take the Wheel

2005年美國偶像冠軍Carrie Underwood的首張作品備受關注，而首支單曲Jesus, Take the Wheel 沒有讓樂迷失望。

歌曲是一首闡揚信仰力量的心靈樂章。一位單身母親，在聖誕夜獨自駕車帶著寶寶回父母家。一路上，過去一年的艱辛與煩惱一幕幕閃現於眼前。她不知不覺把車開得飛快，又因無法集中精力，汽車將要失控之時，無助的媽媽本能地想起了耶穌基督，並從心底發出了絕望的求救:“耶穌啊，請抓住這個方向盤，幫幫我，我一個人已無法駕馭它。請再給我一次還生的機會吧，把我從災難中拯救出來……”

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati 上周五她開車前往辛辛那提

On a snow white Christmas Eve 在那飄雪的聖誕節前夜

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat 她要回家探望父母，她的寶貝正在車的後座

Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline 還有五十英里的路程要走，她擔心著駕駛和汽油

It's been a long hard year 這是很艱難的一年

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention 她吃了很多苦但是她並不在意

She was going way to fast她漸漸加速

Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass 當她意識到自己頭暈的時候

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes 她眼睛發花

She didn't even have time to cry 卻沒時間哭泣

She was sooo scared 她是如此恐懼

She threw her hands up in the air 她把手伸向天空

Jesus take the wheel上帝啊，請幫我掌控方向盤

Take it from my hands 請幫我掌控方向盤！

Cause I can't do this all on my own 我已經無法控制

I'm letting go 我就要失去一切

So give me one more chance 所以再給我一次機會吧

To save me from this road I'm on 從這條公路上拯救我吧

Jesus take the wheel 上帝救起了她

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder 當她清醒時外面依然很冷

And the car came to a stop 車已停下

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock 當她看到自己的寶貝依然在後座沉睡的時候她放聲痛哭

And for the first time in a long time 然後她做了一件許久不曾做過的事

She bowed her head to pray 低頭默默祈禱

She said I'm sorry for the way 她說為剛才的一切感到抱歉

I've been living my life 我會好好生活

I know I've got to change 我知道我需要改變

So from now on tonight 所以從今晚開始

Jesus take the wheel 上帝啊，請幫我掌控方向盤

Take it from my hands 請幫我掌控方向盤！

Cause I can't do this all on my own 我已經無法控制

I'm letting go 我就要失去一切

So give me one more chance 所以再給我一次機會吧

To save me from this road I'm on 從這條公路上拯救我吧

Oh, why, oh 噢，為什麼，噢
