Comme un arbre dans la ville
Je suis né dans le béton
Coincé entre deux maisons
Sans abri sans domicile
Comme un arbre dans la ville.
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J'ai grandi loin des fûtaies
Où mes frères des forêts
Ont fondé une famille
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
Pour pousser je me débats
Mais mes branches volent bas
Si près des autos qui fument
Entre
béton et bitume

Comme un arbre dans la ville
J'ai la fumée des usines
Pour prison et mes racines
On les recouvre de grilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville.
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J'ai des chansons sur mes feuilles
Qui s'envoleront sous l'oei
L
De vos fenêtres serviles
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
On m'arrachera des rues
Pour bâtir ou j'ai vécu
Des parkings d'honneur posthume
Entre béton et bitume

Comme un arbre dans la ville
Ami fais après ma mort
Barricades d
E mon corps
Et du feu de mes brindilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville.
