Our ambitions are at half-mast
And our future's in custody
And if it's true that intelligence
Is the ability to adapt
We'll have to play it smart
When facing certain situations
With an anvil on our back
Feet tied and the wind in our face
It's already harder to love life
To smile in the mirror
We lost the first round
But the same player plays again
We don't wanna turn the other cheek
So we'll have to invent
With pockets full of courage
Find something else to tell
So we don't miss the boat again
There were surely several options
But finally we chose
To accept this position
So we're gonna raise our eyes
When our regrets take flight
We'll set ourselves goals
Over there at the end of the hallways
There'll be light to catch
We'll try to go see it
Can you hear me? I am awake
Can you see all the fights
That happen through my eyes
Don't lie, I reach the light
It's the desire to believe that holds out
Even in a hostile environment
It's the victory that exists
Those five buddies a bit lost
Who still try to flap their wings
It's finding the taste of sweat again
Between two parallel bars
It's jostled hope
Because we're backed against the wall
There's no room left to back up
Like a survival instinct
We still think about moving forward
At the end of something
There's surely something to start
In the heart of question marks
We're gonna come out of the torpor
Some will call it retraining
Over there at the end of the hallways
There'll be light to catch
We'll try to go see it
I've been trying to let it go
Been trying to free my soul
But all the friends that I have lost
And all the scars that I have left
My body, embodies all my sorrows
My bones mirror my own morals
Now I don't need nothing more
Than to feel my heart pounding
I'll hold on to this second chance
Without forgetting those who bleed
We're not all in the same boat
Me, I had my second chance
And even if I can make it beautiful
I often think of the sadness
Of the last Christmas smile
It's mourning all the others
To smile again, if only
As a tribute to all of ours
Those who were there, who carried me
Literally and figuratively
Those who adapted their lives
To make mine less complicated
Can you hear me? I am awake
Can you see all the fights
That happen through my eyes
Don't lie, I reach the light
Can you hear me? I am awake
Can you see all the fights
That happen through my eyes
Don't lie, I reach the light
