“Cette chanson co-écrite avec Jule Japhet, décrit le retour d’une jeune femme ou d’un jeune homme, accompagné de son enfant au foyer familial après quelques années de silence. De la nécessité d’affronter les démons de la discorde familiale afin de les surmonter pour ne garder que le meilleur de l’héritage parental que nous léguons à la prochaine génération.

LYRICS
Standing at the door step

After calling to the family house
So many years gone since you’ve left
Do they even know who you are?
You’re not afraid of the answer
As you will see it at first sight
And the smile of your daughter
Frees you to refuse the fight

You become stronger x4

He doesn’t know how to be gentle
Has he ever known to embrace?
Lame jokes to provoke your anger
Sign his last try to break your faith
Might have to stand up for Mother
Silent and sorry for his wrong ways
Now You know you are the answer

You become stronger x4

Keep love in your heart
You’ve got so much to give, don’t hide.
Live and cast your past aside
(Let forgiveness be your guide)
Forgiveness shall be your guide
Become stronger
You become stronger

Keep love in your heart, a loving heart
You’ve got so much to give, so much
You’ve got so much within, so much”
