Il était une fois un pays
Partout on disait là-bas
La tolérance est un esprit
Et la liberté un droit
Il représentait la lumière
Un presque phare dans la nuit
Pour tous les exclus un repère
L'endroit où refaire sa vie
Jusqu'au jour où certains assurent
Que nos frontières sont des passoires
Et que nos galères viennent c'est sûr
Des rouges des jaunes et des noirs
Ne me parlez pas de couleurs
Donnez-moi une autre excuse
Si les différences vous font peur
Trouvez d'autres subterfuges
Drôle de France que celle qui rejette
Qui condamne à priori
Délit d'opinion ou de tête
Et par devant on sourit
À croire que deux poids deux mesures
Et deux cultures et deux mémoires
Comme si oubliées les blessures et les erreurs de l'histoire
Refrain
Ne me parlez pas de couleurs
De religions de drapeaux
Et si métissage vous fait peur
Moi j'ai un faible pour le mot
Pour le mot
Refrains
