What's this? What's this? There's candles everywhere
What's this? They're lighting up the air
What's this? I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jean, this isn't fair! What's this?

What's this? What's this? No, this cannot be real
This man, he offers me a meal
What's this? The table's full of food
And drink for me
And all these people seem so Christian
Is this what my life's been missing?
What is this?
What's this?

The bishop gives me shelter, he doesn't cast me out
His voice is soft and gentle, he must never scream or shout
He dares call me his brother, holy in the eyes of God
The path he offers is so different from the one I've trod...

Oh look, what's this? There's silver in this drawer
How grand! It must be worth a for-
Tune, so, I'll take it straight away
I'm sure they won't miss it at all
I doubt they'll even notice that it's gone -
What's this?

What's this?
In here, they've got a crucifix, how queer
And who would ever think?
And why?

There's Jesus hanging from it, bleeding from his side
There's thorns upon his head
And he looks positively dead
So now, correct me if I'm wrong
He died for me, he died for me
What is this selfless saintliness?
What's this?

Oh my, what now? The bishop is asleep
The time has come for me to leave
Tonight, I'll start my life anew
He'll never know, he'll never know how close I came
To him inside his dreamland...
What's this?

The chain gangs all are missing and the gendarmes can't be found
And in their place there seems to be warm goodness all around
Instead of sweat my body's covered in a downy sheet
And when I lie in bed, I have a cushion for my feet...

The love, the trust, forgiveness for my sins
I just wish that I could belong right here!
I couldn't have imagined any better place
I want to stay forever, and
I won't go back, I won't go back
I need another chance
I've got to try, I've got to try
I've got to prove that I deserve
All of this!

Digne? Hmm...
