コロナウィルス ソーシャルワーカーに捧げる歌
Alicia Keysがコロナウィルスの中で働くソーシャルワーカーの人達のために捧げる歌を発表しました。
You're the engine that makes all things go
And you're always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it's hard
There's no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don't know if this helps it, but
[Chorus]
Good job, you're doin' a good job, a good job
You're doin' a good job
Don't get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
You're doin' a good job, a good job
You're doin' a good job
Don't get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
[Verse]
Six in the morning
And soon as you walk through that door
Everyone needs you again
The world's out of order
It's not as sound when you're not around
All day on your feet, hard to
Keep that energy, I know
When it feel like the end of the road
You don't let go
You just press forward
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the engine that makes all things go
And you're always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it's hard
There's no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don't know if this helps it, but (Good job)
[Chorus]
Good job, you're doin' a good job, a good job (Good job)
You're doin' a good job
Don't get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
(Yeah, that's a good job)
You're doin' a good job, a good job (Good job)
You're doin' a good job
Don't get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
[Bridge]
The mothers, the fathers, the teachers that reach us
Strangers to friends that show up in the end
From the bottom to the top, the listeners that hear us
This is for you, you make me fearless
[Outro]
You're doin' a good job, a good job (Oh)
You're doin' a good job
Don't get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter, matter, matter, yeah
元々は家族のことを思って書いた詩のようですが、プロモーションビデオの映像を見ると悲しみや悲哀が溢れています。
普段、何も感じず当たり前のように思っていたゴミの回収する人や道路を掃除する人など改めて色々な人があって自分は生きているのだなと感じさせられました。
心に響く良い歌だな～と思います。
自分も何か社会に貢献できることはないかなと思ってしまいます。
今は、家にいることが自体が貢献できることかもしれないです。売り上げが落ち込んでお昼のお弁当を売ったりしている飲食店のお弁当を買ったりなど、微力ながら貢献できる方法を見つけたいと思います。
日本のアーティストも社会が元気になるような歌を作ってもらいたいです。
