Les paroles de la chanson
« Child of man »
Noa

If I were a desert flower
All winter long I’d pain and cower
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As tiny buds begin to bloom
In spring I’d blossom and forget
the winter’s gloom.

If I were a brook of water
Kissed by the frost along my borders
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As I’d release my icy chains
In spring I’d bubble and forget
the winter’s rain.

Refrain:
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don’t look so surprised
as my eyes
shine and glow
It’s the sunlight in the skies
that is making me so. (bis)

If I were a joyful songbird
all winter long, so cold and so somber
Spring would make me sing
my voice would ring
like tiny bells on scarvesof silk
a song as beautiful an pure
as mother’s milk

Refrain:
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don’t look so surprised
as my eyes
shine and glow
It’s the sunlight in the skies
that is making me so. (bis)

Don’t be surprised
by this look in my eyes
like a flower or three
I will bloom in the spring
I will shed all my woes
As the green grass grows
like a flower or three
I will throw my head back
and sing! (ter)
