Essere Speciale

I want you to be different, I want you to be special
I want you to have something more than the national average
I hope you're better than me and deserve to be there
and even if it's not like that, that's how I want to hope
that you don't become the faithful mirror of all my banality
but by giving me a transparent glass
you help me every day to get out of nothing

Because I want you to be special
I want you to be different
I want you to help me find
what I'm afraid I've lost

I don't want to know if you like the ocean or even less if you can cook
I want to be able to identify not in you but in your ideal
I wouldn't want you to say what I know but what I can't say
I know it's a childish game but let me imagine
that you are the hope, my brotherhood
the dream that I no longer have
and when I have my head bowed on the marble
you can scream and wake up my sleep

Because I want you to be special
I want you to be different
I want you to help me find
what I'm afraid I've lost
I want you to be a special being
