Les Aveux Lyrics

Les grands orages, de venir a moi
J'ai la dans mes poings, la force de vivre
Et le filet du temps, n'est que l'ombre qui passe
Et voila le present que je regarde en face

J'ai en moi la vie, j'ai en moi le feu
J'ai en moi la tempete de celui qui veut
J'ai en moi la vie, j'ai en moi le feu
J'ai en moi la tempete, si je sais qu'on est deux

Je suis l'eau qui dort, et le roseau qui plie
J'ai le calme tranquille de la douceur des nuits
J'ai la patience immence et le fil du passé
Et j'ai les mains tendues pour prendre et pour donner

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
