Zazie - J'étais là



I was there

I was there, you see him standing next to me
we were six years old
We played like kids at the doctor's
at the doctor's
I was there, I saw the bruises, the scars, the weals
I didn't believe my eyes
my eyes
And he told me I was tough
You see, the burns on my arms
I don't feel them
I don't feel them
I was there, I didn't say anything
And then I left
If I had returned there
Never again
Never again
I was there as well as him, I was barely 15
We were in the basement in his parents' house
I loved him so much
I have to say he was handsome but he was addicted to heroïne, my hero
I was there when his mother came to tell me
It's over, the funeral's on monday
monday
I cried, ofcourse I cried
But then I decided to go outside
outside
I was there the 8th of October after the bomb (copernick)
Yes, I was at the happening
With all my friends
I was there, it's true, while we didn't understand
But we thought it was okay
Okay
Yes I was there to help people with aids and the homeless
I sang
Sang
Ofcourse I was there pour celebrate the party
And I raised my glass to them who lost everything
One more glass, we couldn't help it
I was there watching the TV at 8 am
I've seen the world agitate
agitate
I was just there when I came back from Somalia, Bangladesh and Rouanda
I was there
I've well seen the fate the nord keeps for the south
Who got the contempt! I was there to count de dead
I was there and I didn't do anything
and I didn't do anything
Still I was there
I was there and I didn't do anything
