Je suis de toi

Crossing my childhood with my eyes shut
Avoiding the silence, my mother's gaze on rainy days
Until peace, the last tear
Leaving behind the anger and giving my father back his weapons

I am from you, I carry you in me
Though imperfect, it's you who made me
And I owe it to you
I am from you, oh, I don't hold it against you
I've turned this sorrow into my voice

Hanging my dreams on a kite
Planting my feet in the sea, begging for the wind to rise
Challenging the memories, finding the courage
To forgive even the worst and finally turn the page

I am from you, I carry you in me
Though imperfect, it's you who made me
And I owe it to you
I am from you, oh, I don't hold it against you
I've turned this sorrow into my voice

(I am from you)
I was searching for your gaze
(I am from you)
I longed for your arms
(I am from you)
I preferred leaving to the shouts of our voices
(I am from you)
And when it gets too dark
(I am from you)
I reignite my joy
(I am from you)
I threw away the mirrors where you couldn't see me

I am from you, I don't hold it against you
Because I've turned this sorrow into my voice
