Encore Un Matin

by: Zaho

Encore un matin, un matin pour rien, une argile au creux de mes mains
Encore un matin sans raison ni fin si rien ne trace son chemin
Matin pour donner ou bien matin pour prendre
Pour oublier ou pour apprendre
Matin pour aimer, maudire ou mépriser, laisser tomber ou résister
Encore un matin qui cherche et qui doute
Matin perdu cherche une route
Encore un matin du pire ou du mieux à éteindre ou mettre le feu
Un matin (un matin) ça ne sert (ça ne sert) à rien (à rien)
Un matin (un matin) sans un coup (sans un coup) de main (de main)
Ce matin (ce matin), c'est le mien (le mien), c'est le tien (le tien)
Un matin de rien pour en faire... un rêve plus loin
Encore un matin, ou juge ou coupable, ou bien victime ou bien capable
Encore un matin, ami, ennemi, entre la raison et l'envie
Matin pour agir ou attendre la chance ou bousculer les évidences
Matin innocence, matin intelligence, c'est toi qui décide du sens
Un matin (un matin) ça ne sert (ça ne sert) à rien (à rien)
Un matin (un matin) sans un coup (sans un coup) de main (de main)
Ce matin (ce matin), c'est le mien (le mien), c'est le tien (le tien)
Un matin de rien pour en faire... un rêve plus loin
