Si J'étais Quelqu'un

If I were someone
My mind would be a king
Like the others
I’d watch a train go by

If I were someone
I’d run far in life

I’d run far in life

If I were someone
I’d laugh often
Like the others
I’d think about you.

If I were someone
Love would play tricks on me
My gaze would be amazed
At your wild happiness

The breeze would blow through the blooming trees
Angels would jump in a frenzy
Like trying to catch hearts
Hanging on the scale of infinity.

Oh, if I were someone
If I were someone

If I were someone
I’d be on a cloud
Like the others
I’d sleep like a sage

If I were someone
Black or white
Like the others
I’d be like you.

I’d rediscover the world
I’d paint it my way
On my messy pages
Like drawing a balloon
That I throw at your face.
That I throw at your face.
Oh, if I were someone

If I were someone
I’d love you passionately
Like the others...

If I were someone
Like the others... someone
Like the others...
