Paroles de Say Yes

Like the wind, you disappeared
into the asphalt,
while being torn to pale ribbons.
Though I hold on to your voice
saying, that day,
"I won't be beaten,"
it's just the wind blowing.
The faster I run, the more it seems like
buildings are going to fall on me,
and I bite my lip and tough it out,
until the storm subsides.
"Say yes!"
I just live hotter than yesterday...
"Say yes!" ...because I've known loneliness
that I couldn't do anything about.
"Say yes!" Answer me if you can
hear me saying,
"I can be, I can do,
I can sing, I can live."
Something twinkles
behind the wall --
it is the knife of darkness.
The only place I won't ever surrender
to it is the area where you hid
your dreams.
When I look up now, my eyes still hurt from "Say yes!" ...is more becoming
to us than sorrow.
"Say yes!" I hope these words will reach
you, now that you're far away from me:
"You can be, you can do,
you can sing, you can live."
