Arabesque Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I could be you, you could be me
Two raindrops in the same sea
You could be me, I could be you
Two angles of the same view
And we share the same blood
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Stromae, Will Champion & Chris Martin]
Comme deux gouttes d’eau
On se ressemble
Comme provenant de la même mère
Comme deux ruisseaux (You could be me)
Qui se rassemblent (I could be you)

[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]

Music is the weapon, music is the weapon of the future
Music is the weapon, music is the weapon of the future
[Outro: Chris Martin]
Same fucking blood
Same fucking blood
