A Soldier's King

Kenny Rogers

Transposer:

None seemed to notice the man beside the road He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlehem In his head he held a memory of all the wars he’d known In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he’d shown And the weight of every battle he carried in his heart But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark Some are born to greatness some are born to fall Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all But we’re all born to know Him and stand before His light Like the soldier who found his king tonight He had marched for politicians served under their command And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay Chorus He stood befor the Son of God come to pay our debt He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring There he swore allegiance to the newborn baby king Chorus

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’un soldat renfermé, qui marche dans une ville froide, portant en lui le poids de ses expériences et de ses combats. En quête d’un but, il se laisse guider par une étoile, le menant vers un lieu plein d'espoir : la crèche où repose un enfant roi. Ce soldat, bien que méconnu du monde, se rend compte qu’au-delà de ses luttes pour des causes souvent obscures, il est appelé à reconnaître la lumière divine incarnée en cet enfant. En offrant sa médaille, symbole de son dévouement, il jure fidélité au roi naissant, signifiant ainsi son engagement envers une nouvelle voie. Dans ce contexte, la scène se déroule à Bethléhem, peu de temps après la naissance de Jésus, et met en lumière la rencontre entre le militaire et le divin, soulignant l’universalité de la quête de sens et d’amour à travers les âges. Quelque part entre la bravoure des combats et la douceur d’une nuit étoilée, le soldat trouve enfin sa véritable mission.
