Un geste d'amour

Tired of speaking loudly without ever being able to act
And often inventing excuses for our weaknesses
Tired of teaching ourselves like two foreign lands
And aligning our hearts with the ruins we allow
Dream, tired, your strength is mine
We could sing loudly in this arena

A gesture of love
It's all I hope for
A gesture of love
For the next millennium
A gesture of love
Across the whole earth
A gesture of love
That we could never undo

I chase after the flame that arises at its hours
That little voice that says everything is there
That we can only see the flower surrounded by misery
And that only forgiveness deserves its soldiers
Close, shut your eyelids
Help my thoughts leave the earth

A gesture of love
It's all I hope for
A gesture of love
For the next millennium
A gesture of love
A humble prayer
A gesture of love
That we could never undo

A gesture of love
A grain of dust
A gesture of love
That would make us so proud
A gesture of love
A bridge over the sea
A gesture of love
That we could never do better

And if words fail us
And only our actions remain
That nothing separates us
That nothing retracts us
With a gesture of love...

A gesture of love

That nothing separates us
A gesture of love...

If only one act remains
A gesture of love...
A gesture of love...
