Où étais-tu pendant tout ce temps ?

Yes he turned and he walked
Past the eyes of my life
And he nodded and sang without sound
And his face had the look
Of a man who knew strife
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through

And he spoke in a voice

That was centuries old
And be smiled in a way that was strange
And his full lips of night
Spoke about our people's plight
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through

And we sat and we talked

About freedom and things
And he told me about what he dreamed
But I knew of that dream
Long before he had spoke
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through
