[Verse 1]
Searching new ways of laughing
Ones whereby one could express and transform
All the shattering, all the gratuitous
The burdens of guilt growing these new ways
Will dawn on us if we look hard enough
Searching and finding
[Verse 2]
Mais l'arbre tombe á la terre l'arbre tombe
Le son de ton silence, m'aide á toucher le fond
Et lac salé de l'âme, lac salé oû je meurs
Le son de ton silence, m'apprend aussi qu'un jour
Je vainquerai ma douleur, cette vague de douleur
Qui entre mon bras droit
[Verse 3]
Searching new ways of yodeling
Ones whereby one could express and convey
Long lasting virtue without destruction
Without rejection, hoping these new ways
Will dawn on us if we look hard enough
Hoping and searching
