My Boat
04:24

by the river I will drive my boat by the river
by the river I will drive my boat all along
by the river I will drive my boat by the river
by the river I will drive my boat all along
under the moonlight
under the stars
blessed by the rising sun
who’s warming the earth
by the river I will drive my boat by the river
by the river I will drive my boat all along
by the river I will drive my boat by the river
by the river I will drive my boat all along
and until the sea
far over the clouds
as far as I can see
I always stand proud
and I’m looking forward with all my joy and pain
words, sound and power, like a pure silver rain
and now I see you
and now I’m calling
through all those concrete towers
well let me hear you louder
I wanna see you rising
I really wanna see it in your eyes
I wanna see you rising
I really wanna see it in your eyes
So I will drive my boat
I will drive my boat

All day
05:23
|

all day all night kisses on a picture of each other oh
all day all nights living is a right
all day all night only wondering and sadness there’s no cure
all day all night hope he is alright
this morning is carrying bad news
by the window she can
see the black car she knows that she will loose
the love of her life so tears are falling
On the general and his military hat
does the army see her crying?
the wife of a soldier now is full of hate
all day all night kisses on a picture of each other oh
all day all nights living is a right
all day all night only wondering and sadness there’s no cure
all day all night hope he is alright
her sweet little child hidden by the tree
is only five years old, had really no idea
of madness, madness all and all around those silly strategies
the meaning of a flag and it’s economical hypocrisy
all day all night kisses on a picture of each other oh
all day all nights living is a right
all day all night only wondering and sadness there’s no cure
all day all night hope he is alright
So when mister president is saying a few words
about the family and our great country
between the silent crowd, the trumpet and the violent horn
could women just be proud of heroes supposed to be born?
all day all night kisses on a picture of each other oh
all day all nights living is a right
all day all night only wondering and sadness there’s no cure
all day all night hope he is alright

See the river
05:00
|

see the river rolling
see the river callng
see the river rolling
see the river rising
I see now years passing by
watching my own road in a kiss of my child
truly aware that life is such a precious gift
I shall be thankful each and every day
do you remember when we were young, cherished by those all around
who gave the love that made us right and strong
to impart this knowledge nowadays
warming the heart of children on their ways
so now it’s really time to give what we surely received
Between the elders and the youth we live
I see now years passing by
watching my own road in a kiss of my child
truly aware that life is such a precious gift
I shall be thankful each and every day
see the river rolling
see the river callng
see the river rolling
see the river rising
there is no price for happiness
but a secret nevertheless
catching every little little piece
of all those moments graced by this
essential and sweet emotion
rivers of joy rivers of affection
being surrounded by the ones
who really give you love to carry on
see the river rolling
see the river callng
see the river rolling
see the river rising

Juste un pas
05:44
|
|||
genou à terre
un sur les deux faut pas croire
équilibre précaire
debout c’est mieux pour doubler les hasards
doutes lagunaires
orgueil en lumière de phare
défier la mer
ou bien jeter des pavés dans la mare
candidats de l’inconstant
abonnés des sables mouvants
de la vase jusqu’aux dents
c’est vrai qu’ pour sourire c’est gênant
hors des sentiers battus
autant de portes que d’impasses
offertes à qui n’a plus
qu’à faire semblant ou faire sa trace
colporter des sourires
et se convaincre qu’il y a pire
joyeux pantins de cire
paraître sans vraiment le dire
entre le tout et le rien y’a juste un pas
frontière des possibles si loin mais juste là
ego vacillant au gré du souffle d’un choix
se ramasser c’est porter quelque chose déjà
genou à terre
un sur les deux faut pas croire
équilibre précaire
debout c’est mieux pour doubler les hasards
doutes lagunaires
orgueil en lumière de phare
défier la mer
ou bien jeter des pavés dans la mare
pas d’efforts à faire pour faner, laisser aller
les mains sur la berge et puis s’affaler
le poids des remords nourrit celui des années
et toutes ces lueurs habillées d’un soir
là, au dehors,
ne se révèlent qu’au détour d’un regard,
ou s’ignorent
