Journée de la Poésie
YOU ARE WELCOME
Here’s an idea
a wild idea
what if we open the door?
What a pleasure to meet you
we’re on our way to
a place without any walls.
Pas de porte
pas de passport
we’re all passing through.
Pas de porte
pas de passport
can I open the door for you?
Here’s an idea
a wild idea
anyone can begin.
It doesn’t take much,
a smile, a touch,
to let the stranger in.
Pas de porte
pas de passport
we’re all passing through.
Pas de porte

can I open the door for you?
Here’s an idea
a wild idea
every person is somebody’s child.
Another idea
a wilder idea
every person is everyone’s child
Pas de porte
pas de passport
we’re all passing through.
Pas de porte
pas de passport
can I open the door for you?
Why can’t I go where I want to go?
Why do you close the door?
If we’re all worth the same then
why is your life worth so much more?
Come into the space
where you can breathe,
look at the world anew.
We’re in it together,
breathe the same air,
I can share this world with you.
Here’s an idea
a wild idea
these words can change the world.
You are welcome, welgekomen,
will you come in?
willkommen, bienvenue.
