Take my pulse and tell me what it is
Life has taken from me as much as it has given
Over time it has taught me to smile differently
Sometimes to hide myself, sometimes to freeze the moment
These memories that remind us of all that is tender
These scars that remind us of paths not to take again
This past that we're out of breath trying to catch up with
Worse, this past that we strive to erase because
We all have secrets well hidden in our gaze
These love disappointments that have made us stand guard
All these family secrets too heavy to carry
All these painful phrases that we never knew how to digest
These teenage dreams that adult life has stolen from us
All these unconscious gestures that we will regret forever
All these fears that prevent us, yeah, from moving forward
All these tears that we dry with the handkerchief of time
We live with these emotions forgetting that the clock is ticking, no
The present does not give discounts we buy it as it is
With its good and bad sides
Me, I spend all I have trying to do good as best I can
Get closer to the heavens, open my eyes to all that is really precious to me
Play the game and build my world for two
Make the vow to keep the fire going, which thaws this precious heart
I am just a man, I have made mistakes
Even with all my good will, I will make mistakes again
How many times have I done what I promised myself never to do
How many times have I confused my paradise and my hell
You know I am perfectly imperfect
But when I let you in on it, I stink of sincerity
My rainbow may have some gray
But I am the lightning rod of my family because the world's weather is getting darker
We try to light a candle in this darkness
Yet the lighter is often hidden in our hearts
Whatever we do, living will always be a risk
But tell yourself that with each sunrise we are all phoenixes
We are all phoenixes, we are all phoenixes
You, me, him, her, we are all phoenixes

To rise from the ashes, that's what I'm going to talk about in my next album
We all have a nth chance, phoenix
