Famille
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Family
And break the silence
When I think of you
I'm far from your hands
Far from you, far from yours
But none of that matters
I don't know your house
Or your city, or your name
Rich or poor, bastard
White, all black, or strange
I recognize your gaze
And you're searching for an image
And you're looking for a place
Where I drift sometimes
You are my family
Of my order and my rank
The one I chose
The one I feel
In this army of simple folks
You are my family
Way more than blood
A handful of seconds
In this strange world
May it protect you if it hears
You don't really know where you're going
Or how or why
You don't believe in much
Neither all gray nor all pink
But what you believe, it's yours
You're on the side of the losers
Consciously, viscerally
And you look down
But you won't fall
As long as we need you
And you take happiness
Like grains of grapes
Little bits of little nothings
You are my family
Of my order and my rank
The one I chose
The one I feel
In this army of simple folks
You are my family
Way more than blood
A handful of seconds
In this strange world
May it protect you if it hears
You are my family, you are my family
Of the same rank, of the same wind
You are my family, you are my family
Even living in the same time
You are my family, you are my family
Let's cross our lives from time to time
You are my family, you are my family
Of the same rank, of the same wind
You are my family
Of my order and my rank
The one I chose
The one I feel
In this army of simple folks
You are my family
Way more than blood
A handful of seconds
In this strange world
May it protect you if it hears
