Un film à voir absolument !

Le pouvoir des fleurs - Les Enfoirés

Publié à Montmagny (France)

 

Je m'souviens on avait des projets pour la terre
pour les hommes comme la nature
faire tomber les barrières, les murs,
les vieux parapets d'Arthur
fallait voir
imagine notre espoir
on laissait nos cœurs
au pouvoir des fleurs
jasmin, lilas,
c'étaient nos divisions nos soldats
pour changer tout ça

changer le monde
changer les choses avec des bouquets de roses
changer les femmes
changer les hommes
avec des géraniums

je m'souviens, on avait des chansons, des paroles
comme des pétales et des corolles
qu'écoutait en rêvant
la petite fille au tourne-disque folle
le parfum
imagine le parfum
l'Eden, le jardin,
c'était pour demain,
mais demain c'est pareil,
le même désir veille
là tout au fond des cœurs
tout changer en douceur

changer les âmes
changer les cœurs avec des bouquets de fleurs
la guerre au vent
l'amour devant
grâce à des fleurs des champs

ah! sur la terre
il y a des choses à faire
pour les enfants, les gens, les éléphants
ah! tant de choses à faire
moi pour
te donner du cœur
je t'envoie des fleurs

tu verras qu'on aura des foulards, des chemises
et que voici les couleurs vives
et que même si l'amour est parti
ce n'est que partie remise
pour les couleurs, les accords, les parfums
changer le vieux monde
pour faire un jardin
tu verras
tu verras
le pouvoir des fleurs
y a une idée pop dans mon air

{au Refrain, x2}

Changer les...
Changer les cœurs... 

 

We are the world

Publié à Montmagny (France)

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Heal the world - Michael Jackson

Publié à Montmagny (France)

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into ploughshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me

Ecrit à Montmagny (France)

 

Un site où vous pouvez prêter de l’argent à des entrepreneurs de tout pays ! Ce qui est fantastique avec le concept du micro crédit, c’est que d’un côté, vous prêtez une petite somme d’argent et de l’autre côté, ça chamboule des Vies ! Cette « petite » somme représente « beaucoup » ! Elle permet d’acheter des machines, des outils, d’employer du personnel etc… et finalement, c’est le petit plus qui permet de monter une boîte, de valoriser le travail de personnes motivées et finalement d’améliorer leurs conditions de vie !
