I: Gridlock (All is Mine)

Silently I sit on this road
Sifting the dust through my hands
To feel that I belong
Silently I weep from my soul
There's always been something I need
To feel that I am whole
I'm taking a trip down the line
Watching this new state of mind:
"All is mine!"
Silently I weep for mankind
At some point we cut every rope
To touch the sun
And suddenly
And silently
Like hot air balloons
Our minds took to the skies
Hovering above luscious fields
With a beautiful view
But this hunger for the ground
Inside

And every red-light in town
Is screaming for lost and for found:
"All is mine!"

II: The End

We're all longing to belong
We're all longing to be home
Invincible young and strong
But we have lost it all
When we turn life into a road
direction towards a goal
Ending where no one really wants to go

And so my friend [bad word] to the end
All who won't pretend
All who cannot mend
All who lost themselves
On Life's dusty shelves:
No one ever wins
We're but mortal kings
Of passing things

But I see a better man
His feet on his father's land
His head in his mother's hand
He still belongs
He's lying there on the shore
He never asks where to go
'Cause his is a grounded soul
He'll always know

III: On nous a donné la vie

Je suis le mer
C'est pourquoi je dis:
Pour tous mes frères
Pour tous mes amis
Je vous donne la misère:
Je vous donne la vie
Je vous donne la misère:
Je vous donne la vie
Je vous donne la vie
Vous voyez tout en moi
Vous voyez un dieu
Je me vois en toi
Dans chaque lieu
Je vous donne cette croix
Je vous donne cette fleur
Je vous donne cette croix
Je vous donne cette fleur

Nous partageons ce sentiment d'impuissance
Toujours jeunes filles et garçons sans défense
Silenceusement nous allons
Silencieusement nous passons
On nous a donné la misère:
On nous a donné la vie
On nous a donné la misère:
On nous a donné la vie
On nous a donné la vie
