(Intro)
Yeah…
Bombe-clap...
For my brother…
For all these years…
I’m speaking to you from the heart, not with hate…
(Verse 1)
We were young, laughing until dawn
Pockets almost empty but hearts full of love
Evenings in the smoke, half-empty bottles
We thought we were on the right track, but we were knocking on the wrong doors
I watched you leave without really understanding anything
A little vacant in my eyes, the light fading
At first it was just for laughs, to forget the pain
Then the nights became darker than our mistakes
I too have known the demons that take you away
Easy paradises and fake bohemian lives
But one day you have to choose between falling or growing up
Between letting your life die or deciding to build
(Refrain)
Open your eyes, bro, look around you
There’s a woman who loves you and fights for you
Children waiting for Walk in your footsteps
Don't let the smoke decide for you, believe me
Open your eyes, bro, you're better than that
The bottle is destroying you, but it won't help you
You still have the strength to become yourself again
And we'll be there... yeah, we'll be there
(Verse 2)
I remember the promises we made under the stars
When we said that one day we'd shed all these veils
But the years go by quickly when you live in the fog
And loved ones suffer in silence while you come home late
Geraldine stays strong even when everything becomes heavy
She carries your house on her shoulders every day
And your little ones grow up searching for your gaze
They need a father, not a stray shadow
I'm not judging you, my brother, I'm just trying to talk to you
Because I'd rather save you than come and cry for you
True strength isn't holding a drink all night
It's facing your wounds and Protect your life
(Chorus)
Open your eyes, bro, look around you
There's a woman who loves you and fights for you
Children waiting to follow in your footsteps
Don't let the smoke decide for you, believe me
Open your eyes, bro, you're better than that
The bottle is destroying you, but it won't help you
You still have the strength to become you again
And we'll be there... yeah, we'll be there
Bridge
Time flies...
And no one can go back
But as long as the heart beats...
There's always a light, my brother...
(Outro)
Bombe-clap...
So hold your head high...
Even if the road is long
You're not alone in this fight
We just want to find the person you were before...
The person we still love today.
