On the horizon
On the horizon
You're locked up but one fine day
You're gonna get out
Reintegrate and, in the end
Build an empire
Accusing looks
You don't give a damn, you'll prove 'em wrong
You've got the right to get better
You who's always known the worst
Hope shines on the horizon
Let its rays dazzle you
Whatever your wounds
You'll end up healing
Your dreams can still run
Even in a wheelchair
Hope's like a smile
In your heart it gathers speed
You can still build
Even on ruins
Start all over again
Leave and change your life
Change life, change city
Change island, change vision
Know what it is
To be free
By breaking out of your own prison
Happiness on the horizon
You just can't be scared
We easily find
Reasons
Not to be happy
We make up excuses
Not to be two
Whatever the horizon hides
It's worth being curious
Victory sparkles on the horizon
Even if we lose our poets
Your story will lift your name
Starting from little, nothing stops you
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
He or she left
Maybe everything separates you
You'll find harmony again
In another gaze
You'll let yourself be overwhelmed
By a torrential love
For a fire lit
Sometimes one spark's enough
An eye on your kid
Even if you're raising them alone
You'll make them someone good
Better than you've been
Even if your heart's heavy
Dreaming makes you light
Winter always ends
Chased away by summer
Keep your disappointments
Give us back our hopes
Don't talk about giving up
Give us back our victories
Don't dry our tears, no
Give us back our smiles
Happiness on the horizon
Let us leave
Victory sparkles on the horizon
Even if we lose our poets
Your story will lift your name
Starting from little, nothing stops you
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
Our past
Our jailer
Our shame
Our prison
Our memory
Is merciless
Half wound
Half healing
To the illusion
That's fatalism
You'll know how to say no
Reinvent yourself
You and the past
Tough friendship
But love's shame
Can fade away
Victory sparkles on the horizon
Even if we lose our poets
Your story will lift your name
Starting from little, nothing stops you
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
I'll find you again
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the road to our freedom
On the horizon
Our freedom

SONG MEANING

Hope glitters on the horizon in this uplifting collaboration between French rapper Kery James and the velvety-voiced Corneille. Speaking directly to anyone weighed down by prison walls, harsh neighborhoods, broken love or heavy memories, the song paints the horizon as a bright line where everything can begin again. It reminds us that even from ruins we can rebuild an empire, that dreams still run even in a wheelchair, and that a single spark of courage can light a roaring flame of change.

“À l’Horizon” is a call to escape our inner prisons and walk together toward freedom. Over a soulful chorus, Kery James insists we trade excuses for curiosity, shame for reinvention and resignation for victory. Each refrain—“Je te retrouverai sur le chemin de notre liberté”—promises that none of us has to travel that road alone. The result is a motivating anthem that turns pain into possibility and reminds every listener that happiness, victory and a brand-new life are only a few brave steps away.
