Feeding Off the Love of the Land

Stevie Wonder

Transposer:

Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser Than the very beginning of our time Agree or war has been our way of compromising Let live and love has become our biggest lie Seems to me that fools are even more foolish Thinking of themselves and nobody else But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished They say boot straps must be pulled up by themselves Feeding off the love of the land Leaving much to be desired Living off the love of the Lord While the price for life is higher Isn't love to be admired Has the good in man expired Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land I awake each morning to the birds a-singing Singing out to God to come and save his own But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing Is then when He'll stop to hear our song Did you know that when you feel the earth a-shaken It's only mother nature with a crying heart You see we have taken from her for so many ages Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts 'Cause we're feeding off the love of the land Leaving much to be desired Living off the love of the Lord While the price for life is higher Isn't love to be admired Has the good in man expired Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land Yes we are feeding off the love of the land Never hearing what He's saying Living off the love of the Lord Never feeling what you're praying Never praising Him for beauty Only praying God please give me Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land

La chanson aborde des thèmes profonds concernant notre rapport à la terre et à l'amour divin. Elle évoque la sagesse humaine qui semble stagnante et critique notre tendance à ignorer les vérités fondamentales, préférant la compétition et l'égoïsme à l'amour et à la compassion. L’artiste souligne l'ironie de vivre aux dépens de la beauté et de l'amour que la terre nous offre, tout en s'interrogeant sur la manière dont nous traitons notre environnement et les autres. Il illustre également les douleurs de la nature, comme un appel à un changement nécessaire dans nos actions, pour transformer la manière dont nous prenons et donnons. Dans un contexte où les défis environnementaux et les inégalités sociales sont de plus en plus pressants, ce message résonne comme un appel à la responsabilité collective et à une reconnexion avec notre spiritualité et notre solidarité. Il rappelle que l’amour, qu’il soit humain ou divin, est essentiel pour construire un avenir meilleur.
