Текст пісні
Once upon a time
A little boy who had faith
In life and dismay
And yeah, I didn't have a childhood
Spared from suffering
The broken parents
Because they never knew how to speak
I grew up in indifference
Exploded on the ground by hope
Of a life far from trends
Making honest music
When you're born in a torn climate
Far from security, never listened
And I'm not talking about getting left behind
Just not knowing who to count on
You become an armored man
While being torn apart
I spent my time daydreaming
And hoping not to crash
If you listen to this song, kid
Tell yourself that life won't give you a reprieve
And when you've known contempt
People will be the least of your worries
In the ice, your worst enemy
The one you'll never be able to escape
I'm not telling you that life will make you suffer
Simply that it will teach you to smile
Even in the worst moments
And yeah, I haven't known safety
Nor healthy and tender environments
When outside on benches I froze my ass off
Welcomed by strangers
Reclaimed by lost souls
You'll have to hang in there
Shape up to better explode everything
But don't forget to open your heart
And stay away from resentment
You might get into fights
That's not what's going to educate you
It's by failing and falling
That you'll finally be able to get back up
If you listen to this song, kiddo
Tell yourself that life won't give you a reprieve
And when you've known contempt
People will be the least of your worries
In the ice, your worst enemy
The one you'll never be able to escape
And yeah, life isn't a fairy tale
It's sometimes going to give you a hard spanking
But it will teach you to love
