La Vie Sera Belle

[Verse 1]
A school bell rings through morning cold,
Five coats too thin, five stories told.
Five folded books they dare not show,
Walking where the winter won’t let go.

They walk through streets that don’t speak back,
Through silent breath and fading black.
They crack no chain, they break no throne,
The smallest fire learns to grow.

And in the dark where no light fell…
Freedom begins with “No.”

[Pre-choruss]
One match.
One mouth.
One spark.
One step into the dark.

[CHORUS]
They can hide the sky, cover the sun,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.
They can break the weak, make the strong undone,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.

One hand to one hand in the rising run,
One heart to one heart till the fear is gone.
One voice to one voice till the silence is done…

La vie sera belle.
La vie sera belle.

Hand to hand. Heart to heart.
Hand to heart.

[VERSE 2]
Ink on the page, ink in the rage,
Ink like a light inside a cage.
Ink in the night they could not wage,
Ink that survives the iron age.

One folded page inside a coat,
One hidden line they dare to note.
One truth too small to meet the eye—
Still it refuses not to fly.

They turn the wheel, they turn the page,
They turn the fear of every age.
History shifts without a sound—
The smallest hands shake the ground.

[PRE-CHORUS]
One voice.
One flame.
One name.
One world not staying the same.

[CHORUS 2]
They can hide the sky, cover the sun,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.
They can break the weak, make the strong undone,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.

One hand to one hand in the rising run,
One heart to one heart till the fear is gone.
One voice to one voice till the silence is done…

La vie sera belle.
La vie sera belle.

Hand to hand. Heart to heart.

[BRIDGE]
Then comes the knock.
Stone holds their bodies.
Not their names.

Winter stays.
Spring waits.

Some walls hold people.
None hold days.

[VERSE 3]
Morning breaks in frozen light,
Five thin shadows step to white.
No lowered eyes, no borrowed fright,
Only the sky in morning height.

One final breath, one final line,
No sound of fear left to define.
Before the world can understand…

La vie sera belle.

[FINAL CHORUS]
They can hide the sky, cover the sun,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.
They can bury flame, but it won’t be done,
Still they can’t stop what’s begun.

One hand to one hand in the rising run,
One heart to one heart till the fear is gone.
One voice to one voice till the silence is done…

La vie sera belle.
La vie sera belle.

Hand to hand. Heart to heart.

Carry the flame through the falling dark,
Carry the flame through the broken arc…

La vie sera belle.

[OUTRO]
Hand to hand.
Heart to heart.
The bells return.
The streets remember.
And every time
the world goes cold…

Someone whispers…
La vie sera belle.
