The Meadow Lark

Owl City

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Upon a winding forest road I met a soldier far from home I saw he was my enemy So I aimed at him and he at me Prepared was I but load to shoot And he uncertain what to do A cold sweat formed upon my brow But we both kept rank and stood our ground And then the curious thing occurred On wings arrived a tiny bird And troubled not by war or peace She sang for us a melody [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh        [Verse 2] I did not move or look away Lest my life my foe would take Yet in his eyes I saw his fright Just a boy like me afraid to die The meadowlark sang on and on Then more arrived and joined the song And as I held my rival stare A tremendous chorus filled the air Then in my heart as clear as day I heard a gentle whisper say My son if my disciple be Show grace and love your enemy [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 3] With swell of birds sung all around Lowered I my rifle down And as my foe took aim at me I showed him yield on bended knee He faltered then and shook with fear And from his eye he wiped a tear His gaze was as a brothers bond And then he turned and he was gone [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Outro] If I should live to see more days I pray the Lord to guide my ways With grace to love my enemy For grace my Savior showed to me With grace to love my enemy For grace my Savior showed to me

La chanson évoque une rencontre inattendue entre deux soldats ennemis, face à face, au cours d'une guerre. Alors qu'ils se préparent à s'affronter, un petit oiseau vient chanter, apportant une mélodie apaisante qui devient un symbole d'espoir. À travers cette expérience, l'un des soldats réalise que, malgré leur opposition, ils sont tous deux des êtres humains, craints par la mort. Ce moment de réflexion lui inspire un message puissant : aimer et montrer de la compassion, même envers ceux qui semblent être des ennemis. Ce contexte met en lumière les horreurs de la guerre, tout en soulignant la possibilité de rédemption et de compréhension à travers la grâce. Dans cette oasis de paix offerte par le chant de l'oiseau, il comprend qu'il est essentiel de surmonter la haine.
