21 Grammes Lyrics

Oh my sandglasses ! The last grains will drop soon
The last time i looked at it, there was so much left...

Where are these early years ?
Seems to me it was yesterday...

My shell followed the stream of life
And i will soon meet the sea
The end of my journey is near
I must now choose if it was worth

Some old flashes, good souvenirs, warm and sweat (i smile)
Private moments, some giggles, the one girl, making love
To be parents, all this love, given and received
Some good choices, right decisions, a few moment with good friends

And, of course, moments of bitterness
The action of my bad beast
Some mistakes, not enough experience
Bad decisions, if only i had knew
Bitter lost, some old friends or worse
And the fear of death, the only real one...
Is that the value of life ?
Does all that weight 21 grams ?

21 grams for all my joy
21 grams for all my thoughts
21 grams for all my souvenirs
21 grams for all my life

Have i done enough ?
Have i done right ?
Have i thought enough ?
Have i thought right ?

My shell followed the stream of life
And i will soon meet the sea
The end of my journey is near
I must now choose if it was worth
My breath seems to flow far away
My eyelids are made of lead
Now it's time, the last grain drops
I'm 21 grams lighter
