My Hand

Jay Buchanan

Transposer:

[Verse] If I ever get out of this prison alive I’ll run straight back to the war to join with my side. But the voices that I hear through the walls late at night. Tell the tales of the brave ones who fought and who died. My sunsets our sliver of light upon my wall 10 feet above my head but I don’t see the sun at all. [Chorus] That’s my hand that’s my hand. Holding my flag as high as I can. That’s my hand that’s my hand. Let the stripes on my shoulder explain who I am. [Verse] And if I ever get out of this war alive I’ll run straight back to my farm to my children and my wife. She looks out on the land that our crops used to fill and she remembers a young man behind the horse in the field. She’s probably chopping wood before the leaves begin to fall. She looks out every day but she don’t see her man at all. [Chorus] That’s my hand that’s my hand. Holding my flag as high as I can. That’s my hand that’s my hand. Let the laughter of my children explain who I am. [Verse] And if I never get out of this world alive I want my family to be with me holding hands at my bedside. And if I have any last words I hope that they would come out right. Words like don’t delay your love don’t be afraid to waste your time. When the sunset is the last one I know I’ll ever see does the sacrifice of my generation die along with me? [Chorus] That’s my hand that’s my hand. Holding my flag as high as I can. That’s my hand that’s my hand. Let the words on my tombstone explain who I am.

La chanson évoque le combat d'un homme qui, malgré les épreuves de la guerre et de la vie, aspire à retourner auprès de sa famille. Il exprime la détermination de se battre pour sa patrie tout en portant en lui le souvenir de sa femme et de ses enfants. Les paroles ne laissent pas transparaître uniquement le désir de revenir, mais elles soulignent également la peur de ne jamais retrouver leur amour et la fragilité de la vie. À travers des images poignantes, il se projette vers ses derniers instants, en souhaitant que l'amour et les souvenirs demeurent vivants. C'est un véritable hommage à la famille et aux sacrifices que l'on fait pour elle.
