Lyrics
La Bonté
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
J'ai marché sur ces lacs de cendres
Et je puis encore y marcher
Longtemps. Il y neige en été
Une neige grise de cendre
Et je puis y marcher longtemps
Ployant le dos sous des averses
Comme un tombereau, le ciel verse
Sur nous son lourd manteau de temps
On tient. On vieillit. On s'éprouve
On se sert de concepts usés :
Le beau et le vrai ; refuser
Le mal. On se perd. On se trouve
Chacun est à soi son viatique,
Sa lumière au loin. Chacun croit
A l'ouverture dans le toit
Chacun seul. Ou cette arche antique
Dressée aux confins de l'effroi
Nous t'aimons. La durée. Le froid
La bonté, vérité pratique
La bonté. Aimons-nous. J'ai froid.
