I prefer to live without ever asking again
I prefer to hold on than to let go

I live in the comparison of a century and a second
And I don't find it so absurd that the world is an instinct
Do you mind if we leave each other, so the desire returns
Then come here close and tell me a secret

I know of an old madman who talks to people
About things that never happened to live a little elsewhere

I take life as it is
This journey that starts by itself
That never asks me for permission
I take life as it is

You can now leave old beliefs
We will build others with my new words
I'll take care of everything, you'll have to trust a little
And forgive the coldness but I hope it saves me
To stay in silence on more autumnal evenings
I remember myself in a park saying show how much you're worth
And never be dismayed if a dream does not reveal itself
I've seen excluded people laughing uproariously

I take life as it is
This journey that starts by itself
That never asks me for permission
I take life as it is

I won't take that train that leads to the future, no
I want to enjoy even a simple minute
And on September twenty-second I'll return to that place
You know what I mean but now I can't
I can't allow it anymore, I have to get up and get off
I won't write the music, but people's life
I feel a mission and I swear I'll have a goal
To sing in the middle of winter to give spring

I take life as it is
This journey that starts by itself
That never asks me for permission
I take life as it is
I take life as it is
