I Feel Just Like A Child

Transposer:

Basically your standard blues pattern. Standard Tuning [Intro] [Verse 1] Well I feel just like a child Yeah I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child From my womb to my tomb I guess I’ll always be a child [Verse 2] Well some people try and treat me like a man Yeah some people try and treat me like a man Well I guess they just don’t understand Yeah some people try and treat me like a man They think I know shit But that’s just it I’m a child [Verse 3] Well I need you to tell me what to wear Yeah I need you to help me comb my hair Yeah I need you to help me tie my shoes Yeah I need you to come keep me amused From my cave to my grave I guess I’ll always be a child [Verse 4] Well I need you to help me reach the door And I need you to walk me to the store And I need you to please explain the war And I need you to heal me when I’m sore You can tell by my smile That I’m a child [Verse 5] And I need you to sit me on your lap And I need you to make me take my nap Could you first pull out a book and read me some of that? Cause I need you to make me take my nap [Verse 6] And I need you to recognize my friends Cause they’re there even though you don’t see them They got their own chair a plate and a seat You know I won’t touch my food unless they eat From the roof to the floor I crawl around some more I’m a child [Verse 7] And I need you to help me blow my nose And I need you to help me count my toes And I need you to help me put on my clothes And I need you to hide it when it shows From being my daddy’s sperm To being packed in an urn I’m a child [Verse 8] And when I steal you gotta smack me ’til I cry Don’t you stop ’til all the tears run dry See I was born thinking all under the sky Didn’t belong to a couple old white guys From sucking on my mama’s breast To when they lay my soul to rest I’m a child [Outro] Well I’m a little child Oh I’m a little child I guess I’ll always be A little child

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment d’innocence et de vulnérabilité qui reste en nous, même à l'âge adulte. L'auteur décrit comment, malgré les attentes des autres de se comporter comme un adulte, il se sent toujours comme un enfant. Il partage ses besoins simples, comme la nécessité d'être guidé et soutenu dans les moments difficiles, soulignant l’importance de l'affection et de la compréhension. Le contexte semble se situer dans une réflexion sur la manière dont la société nous pousse à grandir trop vite et à perdre notre part d'enfance. Il rappelle que nous portons tous en nous cette enfant intérieur, qui a besoin d'attention et d'amour, tout au long de notre vie. Cette chanson touche ainsi à des émotions universelles liées à la dépendance et à la recherche de réconfort.
