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
