You need something [French translation]

and if the clouds are just a place to rest your head

and all the stars are just decoration round your bed

we're just like paper in the wind

we need to find a reason

we all need somewhere to begin

something to believe in

and if the sea is just a place to wash your hands

and all the islands are silly little dots of land

we're all just like paper in the wind

we need to move along

we all need to find our happy end, somewhere to belong
