I certainly have the will to get to the bottom of things
To prove myself that I'm able to do it
Certainly someone has to say it
but I don't mind carrying this burden on my shoulders
I don't mind at all.

I've lived so often doubting myself
That at a certain point I told me
If it had been so easy to commit to doubts
It would have been just as easy
to commit to certainties.

I think about small lives, about ants
And about the silence of a moderate existence
The need to be discreet
To ask permission if necessary
But with the pride of knowing where to go.

It's the small beings who have the world in hands
They cover themselves from the rest with breadcrumbs
But not out of shame
But out of pride

The unproven confidence
The one that went unnoticed.

Just a moderate pride of being small
knowing where to go.
