This evil is necessary
You know doubt is pernicious
Often it will despair
A make you downcast eyes
You want to flee
But it is everywhere
Where you look back
It is a prayer
A silence
A missed appointment
Your guide has moved away
You're only to walk
In the zigzags of life
Blessed are simple-minded
The illusion is perfect
But happiness is perilous
Often you take the head
When you do the state of play
But the hope after
You sense it is mild
And free as air
It is a prayer
A silence
A missed appointment
Your guide has moved away
You're only to walk
In the zigzag of life
Blessed are simple-minded
Looking for why, how
Looking for noon to fourteen hours
And you stop too often
A 2 cm of happiness
It is a prayer
A silence
Tu le sens il est doux
Et libre comme l'air
C'est une prière
Un silence
Un rendez vous manqué
Ton guide a pris ses distances
Tu es seul à marcher
Dans les zigzag de la vie
Heureux les simples d'esprit
Tu cherches le pourquoi du comment
Tu cherches midi à quatorze heures
Et tu t'arrêtes bien trop souvent
A 2 cm du bonheur
C'est une prière
Un silence
