lyrics

I am the mountain
You are the sun
Paper anchors won’t bring me down
I am the falcon
Sharp and strong
Lonely traveller looking down
Take me back to Toularoux
I have been there
In a dream
A dream you know

But I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where lovers melt together
I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where sisters fly together
I will take the dangerous road
To reach Utopia
You know it’s worth the danger to go

I am the python
Sleek and strong
I am under your every stone
And I have seen your face before
I have heard you
Through every door
I’ve seen it all

And I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where lovers melt together
I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where sisters fly together
I will take the dangerous road
To reach Utopia
You know it’s worth the danger to go

Oh but
I don’t want to be the fighter
I don’t want to be the writer of wars…
