A child opens his eyes and for the first time looks
At this world that spins around itself and the sun
That with warmth shelters these days of reflection
Reflection that inspires me and motivates me to create a song

A song that speaks of love or resentment
Passion, courage, vision, honor, reason, pain or union
Protest songs, proposals or answers
Songs that knock on doors, songs of evolution

Time will pass, no more wars will start
Happiness will come and end with tears
History will be rewritten, my songs will be forgotten
Other creatures will be born, they will improve and worsen

An old man alone tuning a memory
An athlete running in the rain
A terminally ill man smiling
A couple kissing on the seashore at dusk

(I just can't understand)
Why do I write this? I only know that something asks me to
(I just can't understand)
Why do I write this? I only know that something demands it from me

A town is silent, an injustice is committed
Two nations battle to prove who is stronger
A December, a January, a religion, a creed
A rich man, a poor man, a white man, a black man

A madman, a sane man, Canserbero...
Languages, currencies, governments, borders
Oceans, deserts, jungles, forests, mountain ranges
To be born and grow, reproduce, die

Sleep, eat, listen, see, touch, taste, smell
Forget, know, discover, understand
Achieve, fail, everything is wrong or everything is fine
Fingers pointing at me, tongues criticizing me

Backs offering me, obtuse people envying me
Good listeners with me, support from my friends
Yes, it's life what I write
It's life what I write

(I just can't understand)
Why do I write this? I only know that something asks me to
(I just can't understand)
Why do I write this? I only know that something demands it from me

No more hatred, no more hunger, no more ambition
No more foolish inequalities, no more division
No more crying, no more war, no more death
And more life, more life, more life

No more fundamentalisms, no more oppression
No more ignorance in towns, no more exclusion
No more hunger, no more death, no more war
And more life, more life, more life

All my songs are called life
All my songs are called life
All my songs are called life
At least until death shows me the way out
