Os dejo a continuación con la letra y dos vídeos (videoclip y directo) de
"Jesus Take the Wheel" de Carrie Underwood. Es una de mis canciones favoritas de los últimos meses, y podría calificarse como de un
villancico moderno. La letra comienza con una madre que va con su hijo camino de sus padres en Nochebuena a punto de tener un accidente de coche. Una canción que hace recordar la Navidad...
She was drivin' last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the back seat
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air
(Estribillo)
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock
And for the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
(Estribillo)
