When she was diagnosed with lymphoma, the 60-year-old singer projected that the cancer would take her away quickly. Finally, she will touch death, making this journey to the edge of the abyss from which she will return transfigured. Calmed, she then delivers a powerful testimony in her book “ A Gift from Heaven ».
Even if I have to let go of your hand
Without being able to say “See you tomorrow”
Nothing will ever undo our bonds
Even if I have to go further
Cut ties, change trains
Love is stronger than sorrow
The love that makes our hearts beat will sublimate this pain
Transform lead into gold, you have so many beautiful things to live for
You will see at the end of the tunnel, a rainbow emerges
And the lilacs bloom again, you have so many beautiful things in front of you
Even if I watch from another shore
Whatever you do, whatever happens to you
I will be with you as before
Even if you drift away
The state of grace, the living forces
Will come back faster than you think
In the space that links heaven and earth, the greatest of mysteries is hidden.
Like the mist veiling the dawn, there are so many beautiful things that you ignore
The faith that breaks down mountains, the white spring in your soul
Think about it when you fall asleep, love is stronger than death
In the time that binds heaven and earth lies the most beautiful of mysteries
Think about it when you fall asleep, love is stronger than death
