I'm Counting On You

Chris de Burgh

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1: The night is so wild And downstairs the child is sleeping Her spirit is free. For more than an hour I have walked in the rain I’ve been wondering what she will be. But where are the heroes? Where are the dreams that I had when I was young? Am I hoping in vain just to think She could change anything? verse 2: Well I’m counting on you. I’m counting on you To bring that sweet gentleness to your world And all that you do. My generation is losing its way. We don’t know what we’re leaving for you. So may there be millions who feel like you do Oh my love. There is so much to know. There is so far to go. But you are not alone. When this is your world And I’m counting on you. verse 3: Come to me turn to me give me your eyes When you see the mysteries of time. Here there are those Who just live in the past. They will never let history lie. And this sad little island Is breaking my heart with it’s dark shades of green And as hard as I try I just cannot see why this should be. I’m counting on you. There is so much to know. There is so far to go. But you are not alone. When this is your world And I’m counting on you. I’m counting on you I’m counting on you Oh..............

La chanson évoque le voyage intérieur d'une personne qui réfléchit au futur de la génération qui vient, en particulier d'un enfant. Elle exprime une certaine mélancolie face aux héros perdus et aux rêves oubliés de sa jeunesse. Malgré les incertitudes et les défis posés par le monde actuel, il y a un appel à la douceur et à la gentillesse, tout en affirmant que cette nouvelle génération a le pouvoir de changer les choses. Le contexte est souvent celui de la contemplation, où l'auteur se promène sous la pluie, pensant à l'avenir qu'il peut transmettre. Il souligne la responsabilité collective de ses contemporains et l'espoir que les jeunes puissent embrasser leur propre destin avec courage et compassion.
