Sweet Paradox

The sweet paradox of life, to breathe
Bound to dreams but yearning to leave
Enfermé dans mes désirs, prêt à m'envoler
Yet chained to fate, unable to stray

Even when light hides and sound fades away
Je reste précieux, même si la chair se fane
Bleeding inside, but I still stand tall
In life’s simplicity, I find it all

Like waters clinging to stones at the pier
I carry mysteries, my peace is here
Crier en silence, courir dans l'obscur
Even as I age, my soul is pure

Even when light hides and sound fades away
Je reste précieux, même si la chair se fane
Bleeding inside, but I still stand tall
In life’s simplicity, I find it all

And if doubts surround, make me sway
Ces yeux affamés won’t lead me astray
Dans la boue, les os, I stay true
In simple existence, my shout breaks through

Even when light hides and sound fades away
Je reste précieux, même si la chair se fane
Bleeding inside, but I still stand tall
In life’s simplicity, I find it all
