C'est pour vivre 
Que le monde chante 
Dans la douleur ou dans la joie 
C'est pour vivre 
Que le monde invente 
Des chansons à chaque pas 

C'est pour vivre 
Que tous les poètes 
Les musiciens, les fous du roi 
C'est pour vivre 
Contre la tempête 
Qu'ils nous ont prêté leur voix 

C'est pour vivre 
Que des gens s'exilent 
Que des avions brisent leurs ailes 
C'est pour vivre 
Que l'on jette des billes 
Dans les quatre vents du ciel 

Tous ces hommes qui cherchent la rime 
Et la raison du verbe aimer 
Tous ces hommes qui se cherchent un hymne 
Que d'autres ont déjà trouvés 

C'est pour vivre 
Et peupler la terre 
Que de colombe en olivier 
C'est pour vivre 
Par dessus les guerres 
Que Jérusalem est née 

C'est pour vivre parmi les étoiles 
Que l'homme un jour s'est envolé 
C'est pour vivre parmi les étoiles 
Un moment d'éternité 

C'est pour vivre 
Que des arbres tombent 
À l'heure où naissent des enfants 
C'est pour vivre 
Qu'on défend ce monde 
Tant que l'amour est vivant 

C'est pour vivre parmi les étoiles 
Que l'homme un jour s'est envolé 
C'est pour vivre parmi les étoiles
