Science and technology have made so many impossibles possible. Now almost a half of cancer patients (45.2%) survive while less than quarter of them (23.7%) did 50 years ago in 1970. Human beings could become immortal in the future.
Even Though I'm Leaving (Luke Combs)
[Verse 1]
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone
'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said
[Chorus]
Just 'cause I'm leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here
But I'll always be right there
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
[Verse 2]
Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away
I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut
'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said
[Chorus]
Just 'cause you're leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, I know you're scared I might be here
But I'll always be right there
Even though you're leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone
'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said
[Chorus]
Just 'cause I'm leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here
But I'll always be right there
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
[Verse 2]
Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away
I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut
'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said
[Chorus]
Just 'cause you're leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, I know you're scared I might be here
But I'll always be right there
Even though you're leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
[Bridge]
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye
Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own
There's no way that I can walk this road alone
Daddy grabbed my hand and said
[Chorus]
Just 'cause I'm leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, boy, I ain't scared
I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't goin' nowhere
[Verse 1]
ねえパパ,怖いよ,頼むからもう少しだけここにいて
怖くないよう守ってよ,だってほらすぐそこに怪物がいるんだよ
ねえパパ,お願い行かないで,ひとりぼっちになりたくないよ
だってパパがいなくなったら,すぐにヤツらに気付かれちゃうよ
そしたらベッドに行く前に父がこの手を掴んで言った
[Chorus]
姿が見えなくなったからって
そばにいないわけじゃない
どうしてもいて欲しいと思ってるのに
真夜中で姿が見えない時があったら
目を閉じて祈るんだ
大丈夫,ここにいないと不安なんだろ?
だけどいつもそばにいるから
姿が見えなくなったって,どこへも消えていかないよ
[Verse 2]
ねえパパ,これじゃ遅れるよ,アンクル・サムのアメリカを待たせるなんてマズいだろ?
よくあるデカい飛行機でこれから遠くへ行くんだよ
全然平気なフリしてるけど,緊張で腹のあたりがおかしいよ
だってヤバいことがあっても,電話なんかかけられないし
そしたら出発する前に,首元を父がハグしてこう言った
[Chorus]
姿が見えなくなったからって
そばにいないわけじゃない
どうしてもいて欲しいと思ってるのに
真夜中で姿が見えない時があったら
目を閉じて祈るんだ
大丈夫,ここにいないと不安なんだろ?
だけどいつもそばにいるから
姿が見えなくなったって,どこへも消えていかないよ
[Bridge]
ねえパパ,怖いよ,頼むからもう少しだけここにいて
お別れを言わなきゃならなくなるなんて思ったこともなかったよ
ねえパパ,お願い行かないで,こんなのひとりじゃ出来ないよ
この道をひとりぼっちで歩いてくとか,そんなの絶対無理だから
そしたら父が手を取って,こんな風に言ったんだ
[Chorus]
姿が見えなくなったからって
そばにいないわけじゃない
どうしてもいて欲しいと思ってるのに
真夜中で姿が見えない時があったら
目を閉じて祈るんだ
大丈夫,ここにいないと不安なんだろ?
だけどいつもそばにいるから
姿が見えなくなったって,どこへも消えていかないよ
(余談)
これまでは「どんなものも必ず死ぬ」というのが普遍的真実であったわけですが,将来的に「死」すら人類が克服してしまうとそれすらも真実たりえなくなってしまいます。
仮にそうなった場合,普遍的真実たりうる唯一のものは「すべては変わる (Nothing stays the same.)ということなのかもしれません。
凄い男臭い容姿なのに、こんな歌を歌うなんて、カントリーシンガーとしてすごい人気がある訳が分かった気がします。(*^-^)ニコ
