Je Lève Mon Verre

William Deslauriers William Deslauriers

I Raise My Glass

Sitting alone in my living room
I read the newspaper and sigh
More stupid news
I should have expected the worst.

Earthquakes and political corruption make the headlines,
I react in my own way to what's happening on our planet
Ehh yeahh...

I really wonder where
Are we going
Without being a specialist, I can say I don't like it

I raise my glass
To those who have managed to stay upright and proud
I raise my glass
To a world that should be without borders
I raise my glass
To those who have managed not to stay silent

Everywhere on earth
Men push the limits of hell
In ignorance
Leaders see bigger than their bellies
In my own way, I try to make a difference that we might be able to lighten
To our brothers and to childhood to make sure we don't forget

Whether it's the other side of the sea or in the heart of our national Quebec
Let's rise up, let's raise our glasses, helping each other would just be normal would just be normal....
I am very optimistic
That one day we will find the right track
Let's look ahead
So there will be a wind of change

I raise my glass
To those who have managed to stay upright and proud
I raise my glass
To a world that should be without borders
I raise my glass
To those who have managed not to stay silent

Everywhere on earth
Men cause even more misery
It's our turn
To stop pretending to be deaf
Take a new detour

I dream of a tomorrow that will be just and fair
Shaking hands to stop all scandals

I raise my glass
To those who have managed to stay upright and proud
I raise my glass
To a world that should be without borders
I raise my glass
To those who have managed not to stay silent

Everywhere on earth
Men cause even more misery
It's our turn
To stop pretending to be deaf
Take a new detour
Yes it's our turn... yes it's our turn!
