Cardinals Pride - Contre Courant lyrics

I just need to be alone for a day I need to feel that I'm still sane Write down what has been on my mind I need to tear down the walls of my anxiety Exhale the burden, free my lungs Overcome isolation I need to know if the melody still happens When I sit down and take time to listen I need to know if I am still capable of hearing the nuances of silence Leave me alone for a week, a month or a year For as long as it takes to know if I am good enough to satisfy my own criteria J'suis francophone And I am tired of hiding Because I know I won't ever reach my full potential If I keep burying my colour in the ground How am I supposed to create something that will pa** the test of time If I can't find the words in this language that is not mine And I have yet to understand Why I should bow to the rules DISOBEY I must embrace the fact that I'm different What if I don't want to stay here In this sphere It feels so unnatural J'suis francophone And I'm tired of seeing my colour buried in the ground J'suis francophone Pi j'en ai plein l'cul d'entendre qu'on est un p'tit peuple de bons à rien J'suis Québécois Pi j'me suis trop longtemps laissé porter par le courant Dans un monde h*mogène et saturé J'vous promets qu'on va s'faire entendre Dans un monde immobile et divisé Et même au risque de pas s'faire comprendre On continue à vivre à contre courant
