Il faudra que tu sois douce
Et solitaire aussi
Il te faudra gagner pouce à pouce
Les oublis de la vie
Oh, tu seras jamais la reine du bal
Vers qui se tournent les yeux éblouis
Pour que tu sois belle, il faudra que tu le deviennes
Puisque tu n'es pas née jolie

Il faudra que tu apprennes
A perdre, à encaisser
Tout ce que le sort ne t'a pas donné
Tu le prendras toi-même
Oh, rien ne sera jamais facile
Il y aura des moments maudits
Oui, mais chaque victoire ne sera que la tienne
Et toi seule en sauras le prix

C'est ta chance, le cadeau de ta naissance
Y a tant d'envies, tant de rêves qui naissent d'une vraie souffrance
Qui te lance et te soutient
C'est ta chance, ton appétit, ton essence
La blessure où tu viendras puiser la force et l'impertinence
Qui t'avance un peu plus loin

Toi, t'es pas très catholique
Et t'as une drôle de peau
Chez toi, les fées soi-disant magiques
Ont loupé ton berceau
Oh, tu seras jamais notaire
Pas de privilège hérité
Et si t'as pas les papiers pour être fonctionnaire
Tout seul, apprends à fonctionner

C'est ta chance, ta force, ta dissonance
Faudra remplacer tous les "pas de chance" par de l'intelligence
C'est ta chance, pas le choix
C'est ta chance, ta source, ta dissidence
Toujours prouver deux fois plus que les autres assoupis d'evidence
Ta puissance naîtra là

C'est ta chance, le cadeau de ta naissance
Y a tant d'envies, tant de rêves qui naissent d'une vraie souffrance
Qui te lance et te soutient
C'est ta chance, ton appétit, ton essence
La blessure où ti viendras puiser la force et l'impertinence
Qui t'avance un peu plus loin
C'est ta chance
Ta chance
