Artist:Sting
Song:A thousand year

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space

I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,

A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears

A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,

A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid till you love me

《A thousand year》收录于《Unity -2004雅典奥运官方专辑》中,这首歌曲的演唱者Sting(斯汀)被当今乐坛冠以诗人歌手的美名,凭借那独一无二的沙哑又不失细腻的嗓音,始终如自由不羁的云,荡漾于缈缈的空中。 Sting的独唱事业开始于The Police解散前的1982年,1985年,Sting出版了首张个人专辑《蓝海龟之梦》,相比之下,这张专辑的歌词显得比The Police时期的作品更富智慧。这张专辑中还有"爱他就给他自由"、"心的要塞"和"俄国人"等多首歌畅销一时。

从80年代末开始,Sting经常涉足政界,用进行巡回演出的款项来资助印第安人争取生活的自由。进入90年代以来,Sting多次获得葛莱美大奖,成为全球最有影响的艺人之一。
