Hands clasped, that's easy
Closing my eyes, I rather like that
Knees bent, not impossible
Being silent for a bit, hmm, why not?

But my prayer, it's only mine
I put in it everything I love, everything I hope for
And everything I believe in

I pray to the earth with all my voice
But not the sky, it doesn't hear me
But not the sky, too high for me

When I wake up, I praise the day
Life always, all its wonders
I pray to the roses, I pray to the woods
The virtuosos, anything

I pray to winter when it leaves
Summer, the stars, and the sea
And the sun and its bursts
And I'm sincere, I pray for all that
But you, the sky, you don't hear
And you, the sky, are you there?

It's my pagan prayer
My creed, my profession of faith
It's my earthly plea
I put in it everything I hope for
And everything I believe in

I pray to the earth with all my voice
And you, the sky, don't forget us
I pray to men, I pray to kings
To be more human, to be less kings

I pray to the eyes (the eyes) the undone eyes
What the heavens never see
I pray to love and our brains
That we imagine and that we move
And without relying too much on above

Learned poet, I pray for you
You, the sky (listen to me) listen to me
And you, the sky, hear my voice

(You, the sky, you, the sky) you, the sky
(You, the sky, you, the sky) (don't forget us)
(You, the sky, you, the sky) you, the sky
(You, the sky, you, the sky)
(You, the sky, you, the sky) you, the sky
(You, the sky, you, the sky)

I pray for peace, the unexpected
The "Our Fathers" have given nothing
And all the men of light
Who wage war on war

I pray for our dreams, I pray for our arms
But you, the sky, hear our voices
And you, the sky, hear our voices
Listen to me
Hear our voices (you, the sky)
You, the sky, don't open up
(You, the sky) I pray (you, the sky) I pray for you
(You, the sky) you, the sky
(You, the sky, you, the sky)
(You, the sky, you, the sky)
(You, the sky, you, the sky)
