【英文歌曲】if everyone cared

Nickelback是一只来自加拿大温哥华的乐队，其中Chad Kroeger是主唱、吉他手兼主要歌曲作者，Ryan Peake为吉他手，Mike Kroeger是贝司手，Ryan Vikedal 是鼓手。Nickelback最早成立于加拿大的小城Hanna，1996年他们以一张EP唱片Hesher和首张独立专辑《Curb》开始闯荡乐坛。在没有丝毫名气的情况下，他们想尽办法宣传自己：巡回演出、散发宣传资料和广告，以及发动亲戚朋友向电台打电话要求播放他们的歌曲等等。
2000年初，他们的第二张独立专辑《The State》问世，给当时几乎完全被国外摇滚乐侵占的加拿大摇滚乐坛带去了一丝本土化摇滚乐的清新。这使他们迅速窜红。而他们追求的post-grunge（后车库音乐/后*音乐）风格也成为许多歌迷的最爱。
Nickelback在2006年推出专辑《If Everyone Cared》，其同名主打歌曲获得了2008年格莱美奖的提名。

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you´d be mine
But here we are, we´re here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I´m alive (I´m alive)
Singing Amen, I, I´m alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we´d see the day when nobody died

And I´m singing

Amen I, Amen I, I´m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I´m alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We´ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I´m alive (I´m alive)
Singing Amen, I, I´m alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we´d see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we´d see the day when nobody died
(When nobody died)

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we´d see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we´d see the day when nobody died

We´d see the day, we´d see the day
When nobody died
We´d see the day, we´d see the day
When nobody died
We´d see the day when nobody died
