T'aurais sûrement voulu faire de nous
Des gens forts et intelligents
Mais quand j'y pense ma gorge se noue
Exemplaire malgré nos déviances
On était jeune et encore un peu loup
Devenus forts, surtout exigeants
Aujourd'hui tu serais fier de nous
Encore une fois malgré nos déviances
Parti jeune, parti pris, parti plus haut
Le nombre est-il amour seul ou bien fléau?
Partie grise dans mes gênes, est-ce mon défaut?
Trouble cœur, trouble-fête, combler des maux
On se sent fort, très puissant dans son égo
On se cache souvent derrière l'ami maso
Avec des si, j'ai parfois battu l'démon
Avec la faim, j'ai aussi perdu raison
Avec la France j'ai appris ce qu'était l'opinion
En Algérie je me suis tu quand j'avais raison
Ces doubles peines que tu laisses derrière ton nom
Ces forces me font réagir qu'on le veuille ou non
On a grandi dans la poussière et le charbon
À Saint Etienne, Puits Couriot est gravé ton nom
Celui des autres, des souffrances coincées au fond
Le nom des tiens, le nom des autres, celui des bas-fonds
Qu'ils ont construit offrant un avenir en béton
Texte à mon père, texte à mon frère, prétexte ou liaison
Il y a des hymnes qu'on ne change pas
Qu'on ne bouge pas
À tort ou à raison
En direction du soleil
Et ce malgré les saisons
À partir de là, je m'éveille
Une lettre ouverte à l'horizon
Puisse un jour retrouver le sommeil
À tort ou à raison
Je refais l'histoire car vous n'êtes plus là
J'en veux à la vie, ses aléas
Vous êtes partis sans mea culpa
Tous ces non-dits qu'on ne se dira pas
Orphelin, mais comment devenir vraiment père ?
Plus le temps de se retourner de pleurer sur son sort
Et même si souvent je ne sais plus comment faire
Vous m'avez transmis comment pouvoir rester fort
Partis loin, partis vite, partis trop tôt
Tous partisans d'autres vies, d'autres idéaux
Au paradis, par amour, j'envoie ces mots
La parenthèse ne se ferme que s'il le faut
On essaie de vous rendre fier
Par nos parcours, nos amours, nos vies, oui nos destins
Que vous surveillez les arrières
De nos trésors, nos bonheurs, nos enfants, leurs chemins
Vos noms restent gravés sur nos terres
Et j'essaie, je transmets, vos valeurs juste à l'instinct
Et même si tout est éphémère
Je veux vivre et sourire pour construire le bonheur des miens
On aimerait tous un jour pouvoir parler
À tous ceux qui nous ont manqué depuis si longtemps
Ils resteront toujours dans nos pensées
Comme chaque mot qui nous a marqué, tout est différent
La sueur et nos pleurs se mélangent sur la scène
Et malgré les douleurs que l'on cache et renferme
On veut croire au bonheur au-delà de nos peines
On garde l'espoir, à tort ou à raison
