Gente Che Spera

When you see that you're alone in this world
When the world around you is going downhill
When you fall and get back up, how is it?
When you cry and wonder why
When your dreams collapse, champion
You go looking for a bit of strength in your heart
When the world you wanted to be better
Smiles at you with its worst sneer
We, people who hope, looking for something more deep in the night
Us, people who pass by and go, seeking happiness on this earth
Wrong: The whole humanity wondering why in a never-ending chase
Towards what isn't there
You ask me: 'what's up?'
I tell you that the suffering that people
Like me, feel on their skin is too much
They hit you and then blame you
If the world falls into chaos and there's no peace with the peace pipe
It's our fault, savages with tattoos
Maybe we take trips
But it's dreaming that makes us wise
It's one of the advantages of an imprecise life
But one that decisively rejects injustice like a uniform
Boys of the crisis of values
We fill diaries with better thoughts
We don't want losers or winners
But better times for anyone who has suffered
And we are all the same from Milan to Bari despite Umberto
There are those who study for exams at university, those who will get married
Those with a broken heart
Those tired of the earth and looking for UFOs in the sky
Those who face rejection every day and live like owls
And we don't want heroes anymore, no flags
Here, everyone is a cowboy
But guess who wants peace tonight
Us, people who hope, looking for something more deep in the night
Us, people who pass by and go, seeking happiness on this earth
When you realize you're alone in the world
When the world around you is falling apart
When the world you wanted to be better smiles at you with its worst sneer
When I see what I believe in collapse
Then I rise, start from scratch
And I know I owe everything
To my father's square balls and his sweat
To my mother's smile, to the face of every grandparent projecting love
To my little brother now taller than me
And grandma protects me on the most beautiful star there is
To my exhausted friends
To the happy nights of forbidden vices
You realize that style is when we are united
Only when we are together is the story livable
Spread the word to every visible person
Everything is possible for those who don't give up and defend their dream
While the setting sun will say goodbye
Us, people who hope, looking for something more deep in the night
Us, people who pass by and go, seeking happiness on this earth
It's the whole humanity wondering why in a never-ending chase
Towards what isn't there
You ask: 'who?'
I (answer) am the wrong, seeking peace amidst the war that's there
The whole humanity wondering why in a never-ending chase
Towards what isn't there
You ask me: 'what's up?'
I tell you that the suffering that people
Like me, feel on their skin
Us, people who hope, looking for something more deep in the night
Us, people who pass by and go, seeking happiness on this earth
