Under the Parisian Sky

Last night Paris was subject to horrific acts of violence which resulted in the tragic loss of many lives. The people who died were just like you and I, ordinary people enjoying their evening, with many of the victims waiting to watch The Eagles of Death Metal.

These attacks are against us all, indiscriminate of belief, race or colour. We must not forget that the people who have carried out these attacks are the very people the millions of refugees entering Europe, are escaping from. We must be united and compassionate and direct our outrage at the group behind it and not the religion and countries they disgrace. 

Our thoughts are with Paris and all those affected, and anyone else around the world whose lives have been shaken.

Under the Parisian Sky

Beneath the Parisian sky

A song flutters away,

It was born today

In a young man's heart

Beneath the Parisian sky

Lovers walk about,

Their happiness built

Upon a tune made just for them

Beneath the Pont de Bercy

There's a seated philosopher

Two musicians and a few onlookers

And then people in the thousands

Beneath the Parisian sky

Will sing into the evening

The hymn of the people in love

With their old city

Near Notre Dame

Perhaps trouble's brewing

But in "Paname" everything gets worked out

A few rays

From the summer sky

The accordion

Of a sailor

Hope is blossoming

In the Parisian sky

Beneath the Parisian sky

A joyous river flows

That lulls the tramps

And beggars to sleep

Beneath the Parisian sky

God's birds

Come from around the world

To chat among themselves

The Parisian sky

Has its own secret

For twenty centuries it has been in love

With our Île Saint-Louis

When she smiles at him

He puts on his blue suit

When it rains over Paris

It's because he's sad

When he is jealous

Of her millions of lovers

He unleashes upon us

His roaring thunder

But the Parisian sky

Is not cruel for long

So that he may be forgiven

He offers a rainbow
