From those rains of light
_____
That melt onto my field
To the love reaching for me
_____
Its arms and its sighs
To let myself go sometimes
When I don't love myself anymore
When I'm scared of being seen
And of being stripped bare
The greatness of the horror
That rumbles and misleads
That I'd like to give in to
And wait for nothing else
_____
A silence that scares
_____
That can't surprise anymore
_____
Cause I've known a thousand times
_____
The taste of its ashes
Love slung over the shoulder
To give myself some respite
That love we're waiting for
_____
And we don't know how to take
_____
That even if we catch it
_____
Our heart smiling sometimes
We close it again so fast
_____
Afraid we might drown
And then one night, one day
In the hollow of our forgetfulness
_____
Gazing at the russet sky
_____
That screams and haunts us
Tired of not being recognized
_____
To be listened to without fear
_____
Watch me fight
Against nothing, against everything
_____
That I've built bit by bit
_____
It grips me today
That would sing its anthem
In the breeze of the elders
In the tree of nothingness
_____
I give it back hope
And the breath of bygone days
_____
That I was well taught
And that are poorly founded
_____
If I want to live this world
_____
I accept to live my law
_____
To unite my soul with my reason
