Discover the story of the song > Parce qu’on vient de loin – Corneille

The song talks about how we are our own parents and mothers, even when we are young. The protagonist sings about how they spend too much time planning for the future and not enough time enjoying the present. They say that we should live each day as if it were our last, because we never know when the world might end or when our lives might change. The chorus repeats the idea of living each day as the last because "we come from far away."
