_____
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
_____
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
