À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le désir de liberté d’un homme qui a purgé une peine de prison pour un crime qu'il n'a pas commis. Il pense à sa vie, à sa famille qui l'attend à l'extérieur et à ses rêves d'évasion sur des îles ensoleillées. En attendant sa libération, il rêve d'un quotidien plus serein et rêve de paysages verdoyants, loin de l'isolement. Son souhait de retrouver sa fille et son fils le motive à rester fort, avec l'espoir d'un avenir meilleur qui l'attend.
