When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
每當我心情低落,我的心靈如此疲憊;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
每當困擾接踵而來,讓我難以承受,
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
而我會在平靜安穩中等候,
Until you come and sit a while with me.
直到你前來,陪伴在我身旁。 ...繼續閱讀
When You Believe 當你相信

瑪麗亞凱莉 & 惠妮休士頓
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

凱莉安德伍在農場環境下長大,3歲起就愛在教堂中高歌,一路唱到小學的音樂劇公演,在成長的歲月裡,鄉村樂以及80年代的流行樂始終是安德伍的最愛,就讀大學時,她無意間接觸到Patsy Cline、The Carter Family等鄉村傳奇藝人的事蹟,更加深了她對鄉村樂的熱情,在報名參加了歌唱競賽節目「美國偶像」比賽,獲得第4季的冠軍。因此,當她贏得了灌錄專輯的機會,鄉村樂曲風自然成了首張專輯的主軸,Take The Wheel 為專輯冠軍曲。此歌描述單親媽媽的辛酸與無奈,在信心枯竭並危險之時,將一切擺上交託於主,讓主掌權。
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Been ostracized for 12 years
I'm used to being alone
Spend everything I had and now
It's gone
I'm used to being put down
My issues tell it all
My only hope is taken in this fall
