Le Petit Prince

A little prince in his mind
Discovers one day our planet
The people, the earth, and the boredom
The children, the war, and life

Let me first tell you about life
The sunsets here
The forests beyond the dunes
And the tides of the full moon
Tell the story of the earth
Seconds for a millennium
Of men and women who love each other
Mixing love and hate

*Mmhmm mmhmm*
Love and hate
*Mmhmm mmhmm*

Little prince doesn’t understand
Where the world is going and why
People have shut their homes
To those living under cardboard
Little prince

Let me tell you about humanity
The long march of the exiles
Like ants under the sun
Thousands of birds in the sky
Let me tell you about the oceans
That capsize the migrants
Like the people on the earth
Going from peace to war

*Mmhmm mmhmm*
From peace to war
*Mmhmm mmhmm*

Little prince, little piece of elsewhere
Looks at people with his heart
A tear slides down his cheek
Why have they gone crazy
Little prince

Let me tell you about the rifles
The sound of snipers in the night
The cries of orphaned children
The fear in their guts until tomorrow
Let me tell you about the violence
The thirst for blood, the revenge
While we pray to some idols
Thousands of prayers that take flight

In the name of God, in the name of Allah
You who know they don’t exist
In the name of a story or a man
In the name of death that echoes

*Mmhmm mmhmm*
Of the death that echoes
*Mmhmm mmhmm*

Little prince, how beautiful the earth is
But people haven’t done any better
We only see well with the heart
What’s essential escapes our eyes

*Mmhmm mmhmm*
Escapes our eyes
*Mmhmm mmhmm*
Escapes our eyes
*Mmhmm mmhmm*
What’s essential escapes our eyes
*Mmhmm mmhmm*
Escapes our eyes
