Il suffira d'un signe
Un matin
Un matin tout tranquille
Et serein
Quelque chose d'infime
C'est certain
C'est écrit dans nos livres
En latin

Déchirées nos guenilles 
De vauriens
Les fers à nos chevilles 
Loin, bien loin
Tu ris mais sois tranquille 
Un matin
J'aurai tout ce qui brille 
Dans mes mains

Regarde ma vie, tu la vois face à face
Dis-moi, ton avis, que veux-tu que j'y fasse?
Nous n'avons plus que ça au bout de notre impasse
Le moment viendra, tout changera de place

Il suffira d'un signe
Un matin
Un matin tout tranquille
Et serein
Quelque chose d'infime
C'est certain
C'est écrit dans nos livres
En latin

Et tu verras que les filles (tu verras que les filles)
Oh oui tu verras bien (tu verras bien)
Auront les yeux qui brillent (auront les yeux qui brillent)
Ce matin (ce matin)
Plus de faim, de fatigue (plus de faim, de fatigue)
Des festins (des festins)
De miel et de vanille (de miel et de vanille)
Et de vin (et de vin)

Déchirées nos guenilles (déchirées nos guenilles)
De vauriens (de vauriens)
Les fers à nos chevilles (les fers à nos chevilles)
Ooh loin, bien loin (loin, bien loin)
Tu ris mais sois tranquille (tu ris mais sois tranquille)
Ooh un matin (un matin)
J'aurai tout ce qui brille (j'aurai tout ce qui brille)
Dans mes mains (dans mes mains)

L'acier qui nous mutile (l'acier qui nous mutile)
Ooh du satin (du satin)
Nos blessures inutiles (nos blessures inutiles)
Au lointain (au lointain)
Nous ferons de nos grilles (nous ferons de nos grilles)
Des chemins (des chemins)
Nous changerons nos villes (nous changerons nos villes)
En jardins (en jardins)
