Sitting

Cat Stevens

Transposer:

Intro : Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here, All I know is all I feel right now, I feel a power growing in my hair Sitting on my own, not by my-self, everybody's here with me, I don't need to touch your face to know, And I don't need to use my eyes to see I keep on wondering if I sleep too long, Will I always wake up the same, or so, And keep on wondering if I sleep too long, Will I even wake up a-gain, or some-thing Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am, But times there were when I thought not, Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon I had the strength to stop Now, I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, Only for that light I see, -Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me And, if I make it to the water-side, Will I even find me a boat, or so... ? And, if I make it to the water-side, I'll be sure to write you a note, or some-thing Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here, All I know is all I feel right now, I feel a power growing in my hair Oh, life is like a maze of doors, And they all open from the side you're on, Just keep on pushing hard, Boy, try as you may, you're gonna wind up where you started from, You're gonna wind up where you started from

Cette chanson évoque le cheminement personnel et la quête de soi. Le narrateur exprime sa certitude d’avancer, même s’il est entouré de doutes et de réflexions sur sa propre existence. Il se sent plus fort aujourd’hui, ayant surmonté des moments difficiles, et il réalise que la vraie liberté vient de l'intérieur, indépendamment des attentes des autres. Il soulève des questions sur le changement et la constance, se demandant ce qu'il adviendra de lui s'il se laisse emporter par l'inertie de la vie. Le texte évoque également des images de transformation et de lâcher-prise, tout en soulignant que le parcours spirituel est complexe, comme un dédale. Au final, il semble que la même quête de sens et d'authenticité l'accompagne toujours, peu importe les épreuves.
