A toi de voir...

Ne jamais renoncer,

lutter,

s'accrocher,

résister,

croire coûte que coûte en sa bonne étoile,

ne jamais imaginer que ça n'en vaut pas la peine, toute la peine que l'on met

dans l'accomplissement de nos rêves,

et puis laisser dire, redire, médire,

aussi longtemps,

aussi loin,

très très loin

et même au-delà

que nos forces insoupçonnables nous le permettront

s'accorder parfois un micro instant de découragement

et puis,

oui,

le faire

quand même !

Yusuf/Cat Stevens, You Can Do (Whatever) !

Auteur, compositeur, Yusuf/Cat Stevens

Extrait de son dernier album, The Laughing Apple (2017)

You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want? you can do
You can ride a tiger or walk the dog
Anything you wish can be true
You can watch the world as it passes by
Or you can make it stop for you

You can stay at home or brave a storm
When the blizzard blows
You can dance around in the rain
Or watch from the window
You can lay in bed and do nothing
Or rise and shine
You can take whatever comes around
But please don't take what's mine

You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want? you can do
You can say whatever you wish to say
But if you do then, please make it true
You can chase a dream in the black of night
Or you can make it walk to you

You can treat the world like a piece of dust or a pot of gold
You can be a child in your heart or you can grow old
You can laze around in your jeans or put on a suit
You can be the be the boss of the company or just join the queue
You can close your eyes to the dark or make it bright
You can't stop the wrongs of the world
If you can't make it right
You can hide at home when the soldiers start to march out
You can listen to what they say or you can shout
