英文摇滚歌曲：Within Temptation - The Whole World Is Watching

Temptation¹
You live your life.
You go day by day
like nothing can go wrong.
Those colors are made,
they're changing the game.
You learn to play it hard.
And I know you wish for more,
and I know you try.
And I hope you realize,
you know the time is right.
The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing² before your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping³ away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching.
You're in your right.
You build your walls
then break them away
cause that is what it takes.
You saved yourself.
You found who you are,
and that never goes away.
And I know you wish for more,
and I know you try.
And I hope you realize,
you know the time is right.
The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing before your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching.
You're in your right.
Your sacrifice⁴ comes to your mind,
but nothing is wasted.
You made it now.
You rise again, reaching out.
He stands as he's taking his claim⁵ to prize.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching.
The whole world is watching.
You're in your right.
What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching.
You're in your right.
