Many lives before

Many wives before

曾摆在众多女人面前

When every mother's child

Every father's son

他们的子女

Joined the regiments

都加入军队

Of the generals

做其中的普通一员

When the night had gone

当夜晚消逝

And the day had dawned

新的一天降临

We realized how great a loss

我们才意识到究竟失去了什么

Just once

仅此一次

If we only had a single chance

若是我们只有一次机会

Just once

就这么一次

With a decision that

Would influence the world

What would we do

若是我们只被赋予一次机会

If we were given just once

In a court of law

Could determine life

Or death for all

Or punishment

是否对无辜者

Of the innocent

And negligence

那些因过失而犯罪之人

Of the guilty men

是否受到惩罚

Would the world

这个世界

Be brought to loftiness

是备受推崇

Or fall unto its knees

还是卑躬屈膝 低到尘埃

Just once

仅此一次

If we only had a single chance

若是我们只有一次机会

Just once

仅此一次

With a decision that

做出决策

Would influence the world

将影响整个世界

What would we do

If we were given just once

To make the wisest choice

That we have ever made

To spread a word of love to every race

在所有种族间传播爱的真言

Just once

仅此一次

What would we do

If we were given

Just once

一次机会
