I was told
"Don't ask too many questions
You know, little one, it's life that answers you
What's the point
Of wanting to know everything?
Look up and see what you can see"

I was told
"You have to listen to your father"
Mine said nothing
When he took off
Mom told me
"You're too small to understand"
And I grew up
With a place to take

Who has the right
Who has the right
Who has the right to do that
To a child who really believes
What the adults say

We spend our lives
Saying thank you
Thank you to whom, to what
To make the rain
And the good weather
For children
To whom we lie

I was told
"All men are the same
There are several gods, but there's only one sun"
Yes, but the sun, it shines or it burns
You die of thirst or you drink bubbles

To you too, I'm sure they've told you
Beautiful stories, you talk
Only nonsense!
So now
We find ourselves on the road
With our fears
Our anxieties and our doubts

Who has the right
Who has the right
Who has the right to do that
To a child
Who really believes
What the adults say

We spend our lives
Saying thank you
Thank you to whom, to what
To make the rain
And the good weather
For children
To whom we lie

Who has the right
Who has the right
Who has the right to do that
To a child
Who really believes
What the adults say

We spend our lives
Saying thank you
Thank you to whom, to what
To make the rain
And the good weather
For children
To whom we lie
