Jerry Jeff Walker - Quiet faith of man

Tekst :

A baby child is born along the highway
A tiny little thing upon the land
An okie with his dreams out on the byway
Lifts the tiny baby in his hand
The woman smiles a little smile of knowing
And whispers something softly in his ear
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
Perhaps a word of comfort through the fears.

CHORUS
You trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You trust the sun to shine upon the land
You take the little that you know
And you do the best you can
You see the rest with the quiet faith of man.

A tractor makes its way along the fence line
And drops the seeds precisely in a row
If the rains are kind and the winds don t take the topsoil
Before too long the crops will start to show.
The farmer sees the fields around him growin
He whispers something low beneath his breath
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growin
Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest.

Repeat chorus

There s a storm tossed ship tonight out on the ocean
There s a soul somewhere adrift out on the blue
There s a dreamer with his eyes upon the heavens
They re all looking for a way to make it through.

Repeat chorus

    Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux

    Celui-là passe toute la nuit
    A regarder les étoiles
    En pensant qu au bout du monde
    Y a quelqu un qui pense à lui
    Et cette petite fille qui joue
    Qui ne veut plus jamais sourire
    Et qui voit son père partout
    Qui s est construit un empire
    Où qu ils aillent
    Ils sont tristes à la fête
