Heroe

J'ai toujours adoré les super héros. La kitchissime Wonder Woman reste ma favorite mais je suis assez bluffée aussi par l'anti-héros de "Unbreakable" (et c'est pas parce que c'est Bruce)

Someday I might feel safe, safe enough to stay
To stay where I am, looking straight ahead
Where the future lays, standing unafraid
Maybe this day will come when I found my home
Yes maybe someday I will find the way

Not now, not tonight, telling me again it’s gonna be all right
For I am a mercenary and I have no mercy
Looking for success on the path of glory
Counting on my will and guts, trying not to drive me nuts
I choose my fight when I feel it right

All I ever dreamt was to be a well known hero
Whom you tell your child about the last victory
Evil, dragons and sharks sent back to history
Gratitude and admiration, attitude and domination
Leading the revolution, resetting to zero

But heroes are kept in dreams, novels and history
They don’t exist if we don’t resist
They don’t resist if we don’t believe at least
Believe that someday secret will be revealed
About our inner power and capability

Yes someday I know I’ll reach the border
And this day I’ll stand free and stronger

Not now, not tonight, telling me again it’s gonna be all right
For I am a mercenary and I have no mercy
Looking for success on the path of glory
Counting on my will and guts, trying not to drive me nuts
I choose my fight when I feel it right

For I am a man

La coupe du monde en Afrique du Sud, l'écoute de Johnny Clegg en boucle et quelques échanges récents à propos de double personnalité et d'alter ego m'ont inspiré ce premier texte en anglais.

Behind the glasses I look at me
Searching someone I know can’t be
Defending a cause and standing up
Taking care of those who can’t make it up
Am I a bad guy if I don’t act
If I think of you before I react
The world needs leader, the people wants hero
And all I want is being there tomorrow
With you, with them,
Protecting my loved ones from the lions’ den

Chorus :
You are who you are
You become who you want
A knight fighting for justice and rights
Or just a man doing things, good and right

I make choices every day
But will it be enough to stay away
Away from betrayal and deception
Can I keep clear while I feel delusion
All around me and I’m not sure
I’m strong enough to stand the pressure
And I think of you and I feel my blood
My heart bumps faster under this flood
To keep you safe how far will I go
Would I cross the lines or would I say no

Chorus :
You are who you are
You become who you want
A knight fighting for justice and rights
Or just a man doing things, good and right

Sometimes I forgot what my friends say
About who I am
For I am just a man
Taking every day one step at a time
Sometimes I forgot what my friends say
About who I am
For I am just human
Fighting every day for love and respect

Chorus :
You are who you are
You become who you want
A knight fighting for justice and rights
Or just a man doing things, good and right
