Child for a Day

Cat Stevens

Transposer:

(x2) I was a child who ran full of laughter I was a child who lived for today My eyes full of sunshine my heart full of smiles I was a child for a day! We were the children who sang in the morning We were the children who laughed at the sun Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom We are the ones we would say... "... but we?re getting older as time goes by A little older with every day We were the children yesterday!" We are the men who worry of nothing We are the men who fight without aim Who listen to no one yet speak of our wisdom We are the pawns in the game! Ah--ah! We?re getting older as time goes by A little older with every day We were the children of yesterday! I was a child who ran full of laughter I was a child who lived for today My eyes full of sunshine my heart full of smiles I was child for a day! But... we?re getting older as time goes by A little older with every day We were the children of yesterday! ...

La chanson évoque la nostalgie de l'enfance, un temps où l'on courait avec insouciance et où chaque jour était une occasion de rire et de profiter de la vie. Elle souligne la beauté de ces moments simples, où le cœur est léger et où l'on est à l'écoute des sages. Mais elle remet aussi en question la transition vers l'âge adulte, illustrant comment le poids des responsabilités et les préoccupations quotidiennes peuvent nous éloigner de cette joie enfantine. Le message rappelle que, malgré le passage du temps, il est important de se souvenir de notre essence d'enfant et de garder vivantes ces petites étincelles de bonheur. Cela nous pousse à réfléchir sur le sens de la vie et la manière dont nous appréhendons chaque jour.
