L'Ouragan Doux

[Verse 1]
Pressed against the velvet night, a whisper and a sigh,
Like the city's muted light, I learned to just pass by.
Holding my breath, a bruissement so small,
Afraid to let my own bright shadow fall.

[Chorus]
This space is mine, no more 'excusez-moi',
A new wind blows, a radiant aurora.
My footprint's here, no need to disappear,
My own bright weather, finally clear!

[Verse 2]
Remembered echoes from a quiet, river town,
Polite expectations tried to keep my spirit down.
Small gestures taught me, to dim my inner glow,
An évanescent presence, just learning how to grow.

[Chorus]
This space is mine, no more 'excusez-moi',
A new wind blows, a radiant aurora.
My footprint's here, no need to disappear,
My own bright weather, finally clear!

[Bridge]
Then a sudden heatwave, cracked the old design,
Felt the city's pulse, finally aligning.
This wild heart beating, no longer in the shade,
A grand parade of self, a promise I have made.

[Chorus]
This space is mine, no more 'excusez-moi',
A new wind blows, a radiant aurora.
My footprint's here, no need to disappear,
My own bright weather, finally clear!

[Outro]
My own bright weather, scintillant and bold,
My story waiting, finally to unfold.
