Emmène-moi
Tabitha Lemaire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai traversé tout un long désert
Enduré le froid de l'hiver
Traversé des montagnes
De tailles insurmontées
Et je me demande
Pourrais-je y arriver?

J'ai tourné le dos à ce monde

Je soupire après toi
Puis j'accours dans tes bras

Emmene-moi avec toi
Laisse-moi te voir
Emmene-moi
Au torrent de ta gloire
Emmene-moi avec toi
Emmene-moi
Emmene-moi
Plus près de toi

Su resplendir la source de mes pleurs
Et tu adoucis l'ampleur de mes frayeurs
J'ai besoin de toi
Aujourd'hui plus qu'hier
Je sais que tu es là
A deux pas de ma prière

J'ai tourné le dos à ce monde
Je soupire après toi
Et j'accours dans tes bras

Emmene-moi avec toi
Laisse-moi te voir
Emmene-moi
Au torrent de ta gloire
Emmene-moi avec toi
Emmene-moi
Emmene-moi
Plus près de toi

Et comme je me mets à chanter
Mon âme se remet à planer
Et comme je me mets à danser
Mon coeur se remet à voler

Emmene-moi avec toi
Laisse-moi te voir
Emmene-moi
Au torrent de ta gloire
Emmene-moi au torrent de ta gloire

Emmene-moi avec toi

Laisse moi te voir
Emmene-moi avec toi
