And if

Olivier Verdy

And if

And if tomorrow was just a lie

A promise made to keep you calm

A story told to make you dream

An invention to prevent you from fighting

And if your hopes tend to darkness and cold

And if your expectations pointed to death and cries

Would you still live the same way?

Would you lose your time shopping and watching TV?

 

I don't want to worry you; I don't want to hurry you.

But now it's time to stop complaining and really live

I shouldn't need to tell you; I shouldn't need to help you

Just get rid of your shell and eventually share your love

 

And if

And if today was just a nightmare

Buried under unforeseen events blocking your dreams

Drowned by finance issues stopping your escapes

Stressed by the pressure upon your shoulders

And if your hopes were in fact a not so funny joke

And if your expectations only lead to shouts and nothingness

Would you still live the same way?

Would you lose your time working and saving money?

 

I don't want to worry you; I don't want to hurry you.

But now it's time to stop complaining and really live

I shouldn't need to tell you; I shouldn't need to help you

Just get rid of your shell and eventually share your love

 

And if

And if yesterday was corrupted

Manipulated by media who rewrite History

Betrayed by your own mid-term memory

Perverted by desires and lack of souvenirs

And if your hopes were in fact dictated by feelings

And if your expectations only reside in ruins and graves

Would you still live the same way?

Would you lose your time voting or crying?

 

I don't want to worry you; I don't want to hurry you.

But now it's time to stop complaining and really live

I shouldn't need to tell you; I shouldn't need to help you

Just get rid of your shell and eventually share your love

 

And if

And if yesterday was the day you loved

And if today was the day you love

And if tomorrow was the day you'll love

Would you still live the same way?

 

I don't want to worry you; I don't want to hurry you.

But now it's time to stop complaining and really live

I shouldn't need to tell you; I shouldn't need to help you

Just get rid of your shell and eventually share your love
