English translation

My life felt like a storm
I couldn"t see anything in front of me

As I look around in the storm, I see
A light far away
I go towards it with nothing stopping me
My path was dark but it"s brightening up

The light I see
In the dark I follow
I see my path
I see my purpose

The light I see
In the dark I follow
I see my path
I see my purpose

French translation

Ma vie était comme une tempête
Je ne voyais plus rien devant moi

En regardant autour de moi, en pleine tempête, j’aperçois
Une lueur au loin
Je vais vers elle et rien ne m'arrête
Sur mon chemin, l’ombre fait tranquillement place à la lumière

La lumière que je vois
Dans l’obscurité, je la suis
Je vois mon chemin
Je comprends ma raison d’être

La lumière que je vois
Dans l’obscurité, je la suis
Je vois mon chemin
Je comprends ma raison d’être
