Espérance (nos enfants)


Nous traçons des frontières
nous nous faisons la guerre
pour défendre un drapeau
ou sauver notre peau
mais parmi le vacarme
les ruines et les larmes

nos enfants vont faire
de la musique ensemble
À woodstock, en provence
aux quatre coins du monde
nos enfants vont faire
de la musique ensemble
et chanter sans dissonance
le même chant

on exalte les vertus
du travail qui nous tue
la famille est sacrée
le plaisir censuré
on étouffe la vie
dans la bureaucratie

mais nos enfants vont faire
l'amour ensemble
faire des choses tendres
que l'on fait sans apprendre
nos enfants vont faire
l'amour ensemble
et jouir en toute innocence
et sans tourment

quand ils vont nous quitter
poursuivre leurs idées
loin des cités-dortoirs
des villes de cauchemar
ils feront à leur tour
avec beaucoup d'amour

des enfants qui feront
de la musique ensemble
À woodstock, en provence
aux quatre coins du monde

des enfants qui feront
l'amour ensemble
feront des choses tendres
que l'ont fait sans apprendre
des enfants qui feront
ensemble des enfants
au pays de nulle part
qu'on appelle espérance
(2x)
