(All that we needed was right)

(All that we needed was right)

All that we needed was right

All that we needed was right

Les ombres ce soir nous menacent

The shadows threaten us tonight

Open to everything happy and sad

Open to everything happy and sad

Seeing the good, même si tout va si mal

Seeing the good, even if everything is so bad

Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable

See the sun when the night overwhelms us

Au bout d'un jour croire aux Dieux, croire aux fables

After one day believe in Gods, believe in fables

Focus on everything better today

Focus on everything better today

Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait

Scream life when everything around is silent

Hold on to people they're slipping away

Hold on to people they're slipping away

Hold on to this while it's slipping away

Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed tonight

All that we needed tonight

Are people who love us and life

Are people who love us and life

Je sais les douleurs et les doutes

I know the pains and the doubts

Partir est ce qu'on redoute

Leaving is what we dread

Aussi

Au bout d'un jour croire aux Dieux, croire aux fables

So long

Mais l'ombre, mais l'ombre, mais l'ombre, mais l'ombre, mais l'ombre

But the shadow, but the shadow, but the shadow, but the shadow, but the shadow

Open to everything happy and sad
