I knew him well
The man who watched the clouds
He saw so many things
In all those strange shapes he
He saw a new world
Like a dream to be taken
But he never got there

I remember one fine day
There was a white cloud
I told her: "It looks like an ogre"
While he thought it was an angel
Maybe because everyone sees
Only what they want to see and then
A bit like the truth

It's a story like any other
Maybe someone has heard it already
It can change and yet it will always be the same
The story of humanity
And many clouds have passed by now
And more will pass than ever
From here
They will pass yes

Now that he will be older
That my friend noble heart
What does he see in his mirror
This is what I wanted to ask him
But they told me he got lost
In the clear of a clear sky and now
No one knows where he is

I knew him well
The man who watched the clouds
Maybe for need of love
Maybe for need of fairy tales
It's just that everyone believes
Only what they want to believe
A bit like the truth

It's a story like any other
Maybe someone has heard it already
It can change
And yet it will always be the same
The story that everyone will live over time

Oh yeah

It can change and yet it will always be the same
The story of humanity
And many clouds have passed by now
And more will pass over us
Still over us
