La Storia Del Mondo
Nek
The Story of the World
We have seen flags
Kites and spaceships
We have seen black and white photos
Italy winning the World Cup
We have seen the squares
And us children growing old
We have seen the stars from a sidewalk
Falling and not hurting us
And we have seen opportunities of horizons above walls
Before sleeping tell me how you are
In your eyes books to leaf through and the art of loving each other
That you never learned
Musicians and thieves of love
Prisoners, students, and ladies
It's all for us
It's all for us
Good children of bad fathers
Blessed in the wrong days
It's all for us
Looking deeply at each other
We are the story of the world
We are the story of the world
We have seen the snow
The bells going crazy
We have hated September, the news
And unfortunately being right
And we have seen stations, suitcases without names
And houses where you won't return
Long hot summers of cicadas and evenings to enjoy
That you would never end
Musicians and thieves of love
Prisoners, students, and ladies
It's all for us
It's all for us
Good children of bad fathers
Blessed in the wrong days
It's all for us
Looking deeply at each other
We are the story of the world
We are the story of the world
And we have seen many things
Can you remember them?
Of our faces something will remain
And there is poetry in a mistake
The beauty of trying
Pacifists and great impostors
Invited guests who remain outside
It's all for us
It's all for us
And girls growing up fast
And whoever will never count to ten
It's all for us
Looking around
We are the story of the world
We are the story of the world
