We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect
But we're free
We dream our dreams alone
With no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come
And now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you

You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here
Hey

Little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You had to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Nous les gens, nous nous battons pour notre existence
Nous ne prétendons pas être parfait mais nous sommes libres
Nous rêvons nos rêves seuls, sans résistance
Affaiblis comme les étoiles que l'on rêverait être
Tu sais que je ne pensais pas ce que je viens de dire
Mais mon Dieu s'est levé du mauvais côté de son lit
Et ça ne fait rien maintenant
Petit à petit, nous te donnons tout ce dont tu as déjà rêvé
Alors que peu à peu les rouages de ta vie sombrent lentement
Petit à petit tu dois vivre la totalité de ta vie
Et tout le temps, je me demande pourquoi tu es réellement ici ?
La vraie perfection, c'est d'être imparfait
Je sais que cela semble stupide, mais c'est vrai
Le jour est venu et maintenant tu vas devoir accepter
La vie que l'on t'a donné dans ta tête
