comments and changes are most welcome!

Ma priere

My Prayer by Axelle Red

I’ve toured the whole world
If you knew I was disappointed
You feel the bad vibes
That flood us with misunderstandings

Human behavior
In reality, it’s so cruel
I fear that we will become
A virtual generation
If I’ve always been hopeful
Today I don’t dare believe it anymore

I who had wanted so much
A world that evolves
I look but I don’t find
A country that sends me
I who had loved so much
Makes me feel paralyzed
I’ve traveled the whole world
Hear my prayer

I’ve traveled all of Europe
If you knew what a happy impression
You are boxed in and you develop
It’s time to see it from another point of view

Pictures of Africa
Engraved in my subconsciousness
Without politics
They would be erased long ago

If I’ve always kept hope
Today I don’t dare believe it anymore

I who had wanted so much
A world that evolves
I look but I don’t find
A country that sends me
I who had loved so much
Makes me feel paralyzed
I’ve traveled the whole world
Hear my prayer
Hear my prayer

If not long ago I was still hopeful
Sadly I don’t dare believe it anymore

I who had wanted so much
A world that evolves
I look but I don’t find
A country that sends me
I who had loved so much
Makes me feel paralyzed
I’ve traveled the whole world
Hear my prayer
