When I'm so tired but I don't want to go to sleep
I just fight against myself, trying to stay awake.
Into my mind, I just watch, I 'm falling deep
Into my body, but still, I feel no ache.

When I'm so tired that I don't feel anything
I just try to inspire me and let me dream.
I may be a bird, even with a broken wing
I may be a storm, even follow your stream.

I'm a butterfly who lives one day long
I'll die every nights, I'll reborn every mornings.
My life is a carpe diem, but not so strong
I fake everyday, I'm fake for you beings.

You, earth, God, Jesus, Allah: observe !
Whatever you name is, my lord,
Give me back what I deserve
There is nothing more than I can afford.
