Lord Protect My Child

Bob Dylan

Transposer:

For his age he's wise He's got his mother's eyes There's gladness in his heart He's young and he's wild My only prayer is if I can't be there Lord protect my child As his youth now unfolds He is centuries old see him at play makes me smile No matter what happens to me No matter what my destiny Lord protect my child The whole world is asleep You can look at it and weep Few things you find are worthwhile And though I don't ask for much No material things to touch Lord protect my child He's young and on fire Full of hope and desire In a world that's been raped raped and defiled If I fall along the way And can't see another day Lord protect my child There'll be a time I hear tell When all will be well When God and man will be reconciled But until men lose their chains And righteousness reigns Lord protect my child

La chanson évoque la profonde inquiétude d'un parent face au monde souvent impitoyable. Il parle de son enfant avec tendresse, mettant en avant sa sagesse inattendue et la joie qu'il apporte. Malgré les défis et les incertitudes de la vie, la prière de ce parent reste simple mais puissante : qu'il soit protégé, peu importe les circonstances. L’artiste évoque aussi une vision d’avenir où l’humanité pourrait trouver la paix et la réconciliation, mais jusqu’à ce moment-là, la faiblesse et les inquiétudes de la vie demeurent présentes. C’est un appel à la protection divine pour ceux qui nous sont chers, en espérant un monde meilleur.
