We have songs inspired by all 3 French revolutions, and this one is about the second of them ...
lyrics
When you sleep, there's hope in your eyes
Curled down deep, away from the light
Under lids, so that no one sees it
Hidden and biding its time
Sleeping through the long winter days till the sun shines
When you walk, you walk out of time
A sideways creep and history goes by
Let it go, it'll never find us
With me, we'll sit by the fire
Laughing through the long winter days till our words come
Wake me again for the next time we rise
Some day we'll tear Paris down
Wake me again when we question everything
Next time we'll make Paris sing ...
When you sing, your voice sounds like mine
A song that leaps from your heart to mine
What you feel is the way I'm feeling
Wordless and curled down inside
Talking through the long winter days till our time comes
Wake me again for the next time we rise
Some day we'll tear Paris down
Wake me again when we question everything
Next time we'll make Paris sing ...
