Jason Robichaud’s story:
I wrote this song many years ago. At the time, unknowingly, it would become yet another representation of my life long struggle with mental illness and well-being.
Through my expression of art, mainly music, I was able to somehow process my feelings better and this helped me grasp and better regulate my storm of emotions.
My caring bandmates were extremely motivated and honoured to be part of this beautiful and meaningful initiative. As a band we all agree and understand that not everyone might be personally affected by mental illness but, one way or another, we are all affected by our mental well-being.
Paroles / Lyrics
Lyrics in English below
Prendre en main sa vie
Quand je regarde en dedans de moi
Il y a tellement de choses que je n’aime pas
C’est tellement dur de réussir
D’admettre ses tords et d’en finir
Quand il fait jour et quand c’est la nuit
Je regarde cette montagne de tous mes ennuis
Quand il fait beau et quand c’est la pluie
Je pense à ces mots, à ce que tu m’as dis
Aimes-toi en dedans ça te portera fruit
Il faut prendre en main sa vie
Regarde les autre, ils semblent heureux
Comme je voudrais tant être comme eux
De vivre, ils semblent fiers et comblés
Moi je ne fait que d’exister
Quand je suis debout ou couché dans mon lit
Je regarde cette montagne de tous mes ennuis
Le négatif dans ma vie ça suffit
Mes pensées reviennent aux mots que tu m’as dit
Apprend à t’aimer t’es tellement béni
Il faut prendre en main sa vie
Quand il fait jour et quand c’est la nuit
Je regarde cette montagne de tous mes ennuis
Quand il fait beau et quand c’est la pluie
Je pense à ces mots, à ce que tu m’as dis
Apprend à t’aimer t’es tellement béni
Il faut prendre en main sa vie
Il faut prendre en main sa vie
Il faut prendre en main sa vie
Take Charge of Your Life
When I look inside of me
There are so many things that I don’t like
It’s so hard to be successful
To admit your wrongs and be done
When it’s day and when it’s night
I watch this mountain from all my troubles
When the weather is nice and when it’s raining
I think about those words, what you said to me
Love yourself inside it will bear fruit
You have to take your life in hand
Look at each other, they seem happy
How much I would like to be like them
To live, they seem proud and fulfilled
I only exist
When I’m standing or lying in my bed
I watch this mountain from all my troubles
The negative in my life is enough
My thoughts return to the words you said to me
Learn to love yourself, you are so blessed
You have to take your life in hand
When it’s day and when it’s night
I watch this mountain from all my troubles
When the weather is nice and when it’s raining
I think about those words, what you said to me
Learn to love yourself, you are so blessed
You have to take your life in hand
You have to take your life in hand
You have to take your life in hand
