Cross my childhood
With my eyes shut
Avoid silence
My mother's gaze
Rainy days
Till peace
The last tear
Drop anger
And return to my father
The weapons
I'm from you
I carry you inside
Though imperfect
You're the one who made me
And I owe you that
I'm from you
I don't blame you
I've turned that grief
Into my voice
I'm from you
I carry you inside
Though imperfect
You're the one who made me
And I owe you that
I'm from you
I don't blame you
I've turned that grief
Into my voice
Hang my dreams
On a kite
Plant my feet in the earth
Begging it to rise
The wind
Defy memories
Find the guts
To forgive even the worst
And finally turn the page
I'm from you
I carry you inside
Though imperfect
You're the one who made me
And I owe you that
I'm from you
I don't blame you
I've turned that grief
Into my voice
I'm from you
I sought your eyes
I'm from you
I wanted your arms
I'm from you
I chose leaving
Over our shouting
I'm from you
And when it's too dark
I'm from you
I reignite my joy
I'm from you
I tossed the mirrors
Where you couldn't see me
I'm from you
I don't blame you
'Cause I've made that grief
Into my voice

SONG MEANING

Je Suis De Toi invites us into Lara Fabian’s private scrapbook of memories. She sings about walking through her childhood with her eyes half-closed, dodging painful silences, rainy-day moods, and the complicated gaze of her parents. Each line shows a tug-of-war between anger and tenderness until, little by little, she releases her last tear, lowers her defenses, and plants her feet firmly in the present. Instead of letting old wounds define her, she chooses to “hang her dreams on a kite,” hoping a fresh wind will lift them high.

In the chorus Lara repeats Je suis de toi (“I am of you”), a phrase that both admits a deep connection to her father and claims ownership of her own identity. She forgives him, turns their shared sorrow into the very voice she uses to sing, and relights her joy whenever life feels too dark. The song is ultimately about transforming pain into power, accepting imperfect roots, and writing a new page with compassion—an uplifting reminder that our past can become the melody that carries us forward.
