Wooden You

Gaze at the slab of wood
That you were given for free
No pine no ebony
Ash it is, till the ashes

Sharpen your blades
Learn the chisels, learn the planes
Be gentle and care for the veins

Keep your dream in mind
And plan, and bring out the best in you
Feel the wood inner lines
And make do

Grooming (your guitar)
What you'll be playing your part on
Make it proudly for long
Grooving (your guitar)
To fit the parts where they belong
Hold it proudly for long

Convene the spirits around
The ones that made someone become you
Instill their minds in the spine
Of the wooden you, to be true

Enjoy the light
Of the early morning sun
Angel dust flying, heaven's hug

Let it settle with time
Let your sweat impregnate the vibe
Stay close when it cries…
For you

Grooming (your guitar)
What you'll be playing your part on
Make it proudly for long
Grooving (your guitar)
To fit the parts where they belong
Hold it proudly for long

Gaze at the slab of wood
That you were given for free
A lifelong tie between you
And me

Barricades

Les vapeurs du petit matin
Aident au lever de J+1
Alourdies des suies
Des barricades du temps fini

Se peut-il qu'un lendemain
Suffise à nettoyer le terrain ?
Revenant à lui
Le pays se reconstruit

Découverte la chaleur
Des coudes serrés par la peur
Maintenant l'envie
De l'enseigner à nos petits

Un jour nouveau, un homme meilleur
Que le monde bruisse des ex-leaders
Que la mémoire des livres
De nos travers nous délivre

Nous avions été oubliés
Jusqu'à ce jour du grand brasier
Où la folie de gens meurtris
Sonna le glas du grand mépris

Que ce matin soit la naissance
D'un monde empli de bienveillance
Que l'on retrouve l'innocence
Et le goût de la danse

Écrasés,
Mondialisés,
Révoltés,
Déchaînés
Et puis sonnés,
Relevés,
Relancés,

Go West

Born on a land
Of storms and rains
Where no man
Ever truly lives
But man today I'm sailing away
I broke my chains

Squalls and swell
Yet dreams and faith
Soon touch the sand
Tomorrow's a sunny day
The steps I take my Queen of May
I'm born again

Once amongst hungry friends
Now a lonely walking man

Loads of strays
Worn and dazed
Their hopes have waned
Horizons decay
Make no mistake I won't fall prey
Just crawl ahead

Once amongst hungry friends
Long distance walking man

Oh, Another day,
Oh, Another race,
I think of home
And I tell myself I ain't wrong
I think of the beloved ones
Keep our dream alive, the clan camp fire
Oh, Another day

At the dawn of a sunny day
And the dusk of my own tale
I'm longing for the sail
That's bringing kin to this land
At last I'm paid for all the pain
I'm home again

Once amongst hungry friends
Now at last on a friendly land
Once a hard-working man
Now enjoy the happy end

Running

Now you take your chance,
Your ticket for another life
Your parents behind
Your friends and your country
You are leaving.

You'll find another place to live
Somewhere over the border
No more threat no more tears
You are fleeing

The ground under your feet
The war in your back
No time for waiting, no time for crying
You are running.

Running above troubles and sorrows
Running above fears
Keep standing up
Still growing up
Running to live
Running, running…

Fools have taken the power
No reason to stay any longer
You're on your way to fly away
You are running

Another curve
Another crossroad
Choose: right or left
You're the one to choose
Whatever just don't stop

The beating of your heart
The pace of your breath
The way you made
Reminds you you're alive

Now you see the wall
The guards and the barbed wire
We will try tonight
To cross the line
For another life

Everything ahead
Your plans your dreams
What you believe in
Another life

And you're going forward
And you're dreaming
Your memories are behind
Your regrets behind

Everything ahead
Your plans
Your fights
What you believe in

Everything ahead
Your plans your dreams
What you believe in
Another life
