Thierry Coupey asked if I would sing his beautiful composition in English, having written it first, in his native French, and recorded in French, by the fabulous vocalist, March Larch. It was an arduous process, but one of love, in the undertaking!

Lyrics
Blue Blood
I see myself / walking by the sea
And in my wake
My steps are / filled with its foam
In a strange dream / that comes so often
Which consumes my thinking
And bothers me
Then it runs aground
Against my bare feet
That same corked vial
A message to me
An SOS
A terrifying distress
I see in my hands
A letter in Latin
(Refrain)
"To you, the Chosen One"
Shouts the letter / in few words
So torn and raw
"Tell them all
I can't take it / anymore
They spit on me / with so much derision
I, Land of God
Am bleeding blue"
But what have I done?
What did I say?
For this message
To find me today?
I, who have nothing
More than another
Neither near or far
Gifts of a prophet
But here is the message,
I sing for mankind
As we're passing through
It's all up to us
(Refrain)
With good reason
The letter tells me
Trembling with emotion?
"I call for help, for
I can't take it anymore
They spit on me / with so much derision
I, Land of God
Am bleeding blue"
"Oh you Chosen One"
Shouts the letter / in few words
So torn and raw
"I call for help
In passing points of no return
There seems to be time
Together for our children
To act, to reflect
To meet, and to succeed
Oh Earth of God, you Earth with blue blood
It's urgent to let you breathe a little
Oh Earth of God, you Earth with blue blood
It is urgent that we respect you!
