This is a turning point for the world to work together in tackling all the challenges the world is facing today, with this unanimous, landmark agreement signed by all 195 participating countries on aiming keep the temperature rising at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level.And we also noticed that earlier the United Nations announced a following up Climate Action-2016 Partnership Summit in next may to focus on actions. With this ambitious goal, it is a good sign that the governments of the world are moving towards the spirit of cooperation. We know climate change, environmental devastation are just symptoms of the human problems. To resolve these issues it needs every earth citizen to participate, on one hand we should give the world leaders a big applause meanwhile we need to continue pushing them moving forward with concrete actions and green initiatives, and we ourselves be part of the change from our daily life. There are some criticizes as saying this this empty promise or this is not enough, or not include this or that. Let us stop cynicism, become more warm-hearted, more engaging, and regrads this as the starting point for the whole world coming together to work for a common purpose – to build a harmonious, peaceful and ease life. At this moment I feel Celine Dion’s ‘I’m alive’ is the best fit for us all to feel grateful to each other and to start a new life … Here it is:
“I’m Alive”
Mmmmm … Mmmmm …
I get wings to fly
Oh, oh … I’m alive … Yeah
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I’m alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I’m alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I’m glad that I’m alive
You’ve set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above
I couldn’t get much higher
My spirit takes flight
‘Cause I am alive
When you call on me
(When you call on me)
When I hear you breathe
(When I hear you breathe)
I get wings to fly
I feel that I’m alive
(I am alive)
When you reach for me
(When you reach for me)
Raising spirits high
God knows that…
That I’ll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times
And it’s only begun
I can’t wait for the rest of my life
When you call on me
(When you call on me)
When you reach for me
(When you reach for me)
I get wings to fly
I feel that…
When you bless the day
(When you bless, you bless the day)
I just drift away
(I just drift away)
All my worries die
I know that I’m alive
I get wings to fly
God knows that I’m alive
Chinese translation
生翅高飞,啊,我活着…
当你召唤我 (的名字),
当我听到你的气息,我便生翅高飞,我感觉到自己活着。
当你注视我,我便可以触到天空,我知道自己活着;
当你祝福(新的)一天,我便心旷神怡,所有烦恼消失殆尽,我知道自己活着。
你点燃我心中的炽火,让我的内心充满爱,使我成为云(一样自由)的女人。
我已飞到最高,我的心灵插翅,因为我活着。
当你触摸到我,便将我的心灵提升,神知晓
我将时刻准备积极付出;这只是生命的开始,我已无法按耐期盼之心。
当你祝福(新的)一天,我便心旷神怡,所有烦恼消失殆尽,我知道自己活着。
我生翅高飞, 神知晓我活着
