REDEMPTION
Mysterious song Lyrics
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
The Journey is fierce
They’ve been marching for days
Through countless miles and cold nights
All was left behind
​
Lost and weary eyes
Among our sons and daughters
Peaceful dreams at night time
If they find their home
​
Shinning afar
Silver lining of old dreams
The promise for a new life
For the brave at heart
​
Run
Before the spirit is locked away
Hold on to your freedom
And walk behind the mirror
​
Rise
And build the home of the brave
We are all together
Breaking down the mirrors
​
Sailing away
Across the stormy sea
Safer than ruins and homeland
Lost dreams they chose to flee
​
What’s left of their hope?
When God leads their hearts
To rule over the free land
The battlefield of greed
​
Run
Before the spirit is locked away
Hold on to your freedom
And walk behind the mirror
​
Rise
And build the home of the brave
We are all together
Breaking down the mirrors
​
The sound of waves dancing around you
Appeases children’s cries
This sudden silence forever haunts you
A good heart never loses its hope
The moon reflecting on the water
Like mirrors on the shores
Guiding destinies from a distance
As Angel choirs rock the boat
​
No fanfares nor cheers
Await along the shore
Greeted like thieves, you’ve become like
The enemy within
​
Freedom is near
But real is the fear
What if mirrors shine on both sides
From this trail of tears
​
Walking among us
In broken mirrors appears
Reflection of a young child
Born with a heart of steel
​
Run
Before the spirit is locked away
Hold on to your freedom
And walk behind the mirror
​
Rise
And build the home of the brave
We are all together
Breaking down the mirrors
All together breaking down the mirrors
Redemption
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
I’m sorry
Did I make you cry?
Forgive me
I’ve tried with all my might
I’m so sorry
This is just my life
​
I’d do anything
to see a glimmer of hope
​
There are shadows
Following me at night
Beat me hollow
Then take me to the light
​
I’d give all I have
to see a ray of light
​
When I saw her, she was there
Standing in the rain
Silver moon shined through her hair
Then she gently reached her hand
Sowing seeds deep my heart
And washed away my pain
This is my Redemption
​
I’m lonely
Been lonely all my life
So lonely
Will I ever see the light?
​
Should I be sorry?
Until the end of times
Please forgive me
But I’ve tried with all my might
​
I’d give all I have
to see a ray of light
​
When I saw her, she was there
Standing in the rain
Silver moon shined through her hair
Then she gently reached her hand
Sowing seeds deep my heart
And washed away my pain
This is my Redemption
​
I’d give all I have and all I had
to see a ray of light
to see a ray of light
and washed away my pain
This is my Redemption
​
I’m lonely
This is just my life
So Lonely
The Beauty and the Least
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
She locks the door behind him
In her hand she holds the pay
That ends another day
She puts her hands in water
As if to wash the blame away
She does that everyday
​
Then she closes her eyes
And she tries to pray
Before the guilt comes her way
​
She takes the time to light a candle
That she brings beside her bed
And starts writing on a paper
She’s got a little brother back home
She loves him very much, she says
She thinks about him every day
​
There’s a place she goes
Where she can hide away
From the guilt and the blame
​
She smiles as she holds the night
But tomorrow is another day
She cries
​
Deep inside she knows
She will find a way
And soon she’ll call this “Yesterday”
​
She smiles as she holds the night
But tomorrow is another day
She cries
​
In tears she can see a time
When love will find a way
She smiles
Every Note
Words Marc Pageau and Jean Pageau Music by Jean Pageau
Mesmerized by the light
From your wondrous eyes
Holding on and fly high
We’ll never be apart
​
Even when the words won’t come
I hear your heartfelt prayer
I know your heart, your soul, your mind
I give you every breath
​
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
​
I long to hear your every word
I need to feel your every note
​
Your presence in my bones
Allows my soul its freedom
It needs to love and to hope
Sure anchor of the soul
​
And in the same moment
She sang a note of freedom
I sense within my heart
Serenity pleasing every need
​
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
​
I want to feel your every word
I want to hear your every note
Like an artist through song
Touching your soul
​
I long to hear your every word
I need to feel your every note
Like an artist through song
Touching your soul
​
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
I want to hear every note your soul sings
I want to hear every prayer your heart brings
Pearls and Fire
​
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
When Leo’s coming back from school
With a tear in his eye
He always ran straight to his room
Rejected by a very cruel
Estranged father
He never played by the rules
​
His mother always told him
Stand strong cause Boys don’t cry
​
Soon you’ll be a man
Just make these tears shine like stars in your eyes
​
Leo made his mother proud
It made him feel better
When the mood was getting loud
A dream can turn into a curse
When family gathers
Long Silence pierced with bitter words
​
Remember
The Ghosts of War stand behind
​
Leo left home very young
To live his own life
To prove his father wasn’t right
Working hard for many hours
Just trying to get by
He went abroad and joined the fight
​
Remember
The Ghosts of War walk behind
​
Fly, fly to find my way
Higher, now I’m on my way
​
Even under fire
Our duty is to do or die
​
Leo is on a mission
Scouting the outskirt,
closing the distance
To recon information
And get in touch with the allied resistance
​
With Eagle eye precision
The soldiers carry on their mission
Tension is getting higher
And Leo’s squad is caught in the crossfire
​
In Silence, cease the fire
Shaken but still alive
Down a soldier lies
The Ghosts of war stand near by
​
There’s a field where angels dance
He whispered before he died
A tear fell as he reached his hand
Holding a pearl of fire
​
You walk through empty streets
where ruins crush you to tears
No signs of Victory
From those hiding with fear
I’ll see you in the morning
This dream is made of pearls and fire
​
The deserted alley
Takes you back to the city square
A blind man by the fountain
Whispers into your ears
I’ll see you in the morning
This dream is made of pearls and fire
​
Your stars will shine within
The heart of this city
From young boy tears once cried
Have found their way to heaven
I’ll see you in the morning
This dream is made of pearls and fire
​
These young boy tears
now Shine among the Heroes
A new star appears
This young boy’s dreams were made of
Pearls and fire
​
My Inspiration
Words & Music by Michel St-Pere
This road misled many men
Far away from home
Some were never seen again
Some came back for more
Came back for more
​
Storms may rage in our lives
Still you hold my hand
The dreams we made to keep us alive
Seem so far away
On a distant land
​
After all that we’ve been through
After all the things we do
Here I am longing to see you
Every day, in every way
You must be my inspiration
​
They say that gold belong to the man
Who’s not afraid to reach his hands
Digging all that he can
Slowly losing his mind
And selling his soul
​
It’s a race to climb up this mountain
To feel the sun rays above the clouds
Still you wait there in silence
Ready to catch my heart
Or catch my fall
​
And after all that we’ve been through
After all the things we do
Here I am still longing to feel you
Every day, in every way
You must be my inspiration
​
As I wake in the still of the night
As peaceful as you seem
You’re so close yet so far out of sight
Far gone in your dreams
So peacefully
​
All my worries overshadow your fears
You’re lost in my dreams
In the crowd submerged deep are your tears
Drowned by their screams
So quietly
​
The Curtain falls
And the last soul has gone
Alone lost in fame
​
Empty halls
Silence before the dawn
Someone‘s calling my name
​
If ever you feel
That your world is crumbling down
Just call my name through the crowd
I’ll be there, anytime, anywhere
​
This road misled many men
Far away from home
Some were never seen again
Some came back for more
​
And after all that we’ve been through
After all the things we do
Here I am longing to touch you
Every day, in every way
You must be my inspiration
​
​
Homecoming
​
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
So many times
You think about your past regrets
Beware, you will get lost along the way
​
And you will find
That life is not about the past
The present is awaiting your return
​
Goodbye
​
Through the night
You wander on the streets again
If only you knew why you were so cold
​
Stuck inside
A mind that keeps you prisoner
If only you could escape and be free
​
Goodbye
​
Mesmerized
By the starlit sky above
You finally wake up from your slumber
​
Purified
Your body merges with the earth
Your spirit is now free to go back home
​
Goodbye
Is This How the Story Ends?
​
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
You don’t know me
But I see you every day by the train
You stand in line
While everyone gets in your way
All the time
A Smile or wink that’d make you
hope for better days
Drowned in rain
​
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
Don’t think too much about it
​
All these words suppressed in silence
for all these years
Keep pushing out
Running through your veins and
haunting you to tears
Then fading out
​
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
Don’t think too much about it
​
Another train passing by
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
​
Trains may come and go
Steam through stations in a book you know
Scratching lines or tearing pages
Changing the script and ruin the show
You can Smile as you walk on stage
For you know the end has been
written long ago
​
Dream beyond the Headlines
Don’t let them weave the threads of your life
​
A child lived in your heart
And the door was left wide open
Free to pursue the art
And all your dreams were stolen
The seal has been broken
And the mission forgotten in time
​
Protests in the streets
As you lay down under the cover
No shoes on your feet
But it doesn’t really matter
The pathways to your dreams
Will lead them to the tower
When defeat comes,
Accept the defeat
But never surrender power
​
Under the carpet snakes crawl
They seem to know who you are
It’s the same dream that keeps you
awake until dawn
​
It’s all over the news
Like reading the same old chapter
Stand up, escape from this room
One cannot hide forever
We all have freedom to choose
Only if we know what we are after
Trains may come and trains may go
Departing every hour
​
Under the carpet snakes crawl
Pushing you back to the wall
It’s the same dream that keeps you
awake until dawn
​
You wake up in a world
Where every dream is coming true
Pure design or make belief
It’s all there for you to choose
Strange shadows crawl behind
As you slowly make your move
A distant train staggers your mind
You know this dream was made for you
But you were not invited
​
Stealing dreams
Stealing dream of a lifetime
​
You’d pay whatever the price
To cross the bridge over the blue
The cost is soaring high
This Promised Land was never true
Just a few more miles
Hoping to finally get your due
Faceless guests sipping the wine
From a dream that’s made for you
But you were not invited
​
Stealing dreams
Stealing dreams of a lifetime
You don’t know me still you see me everyday
By the train
I stay behind and let you go on with your day
All the time
A wink or smile and my last dream is washed away
Far away
​
It’s just another train passing by
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
​
I hear the sound of old trains gone by
From trees, like ghosts waving goodbye
And steam vanishing through the mountainside
​
I’m here with one last ticket to ride
Waiting alone, still no lights in sight
Have I missed the train or have I arrived?
​
Or is this how the story ends?
​
When the last word’s been sang
And the last note’s been played
When finally the curtain falls
​
Is this how the story ends?
​
Wandering souls never die
Travellers from different time
This train is heading straight to the other side
​
Into the mist tracing the railway lines
Do not insist, you’ll know before your time
This train is just passing through
this dream of mine
​
And this is how the story ends
Oh this is how the story ends
