La Ragione Del Mondo
Marco Mengoni
The Reason for the World
Moon carving silent shadows
A distant sound and the noise of the world
In the hour that reveals the mute voice of things
And it feels like grasping their deepest meaning
You’ll ask yourself what is
The reason for the world
And every word hangs in the air
Like a cloud carried by the wind
It becomes an island, a song, rain, and waiting
A beam of light turned on and then off
You’ll ask yourself what is
The reason for the world
It’s like I was just born
I live only now
And you’ve been
Here all along
Up high the sky is a city of a thousand lit homes
There are cars and lights going far away
And I see in your hands mysterious shapes
In your eyes mirrors where I’m looking at myself
You’ll ask me what is
The reason for the world
See, see
That the dark is just a brief retreat of the sun
And blindly
Believe, believe
That time will take care of every pain
It’s like I was
Just born now
I live only now
And you’ve been
Here all along
All along
It’s like I was
Just born now
I live only now
And you’ve been
Here all along
Here all along
With me
