Volo Libero
Paolo Meneguzzi
Free Fall
I lower my eyes and see
That it's about to slip down
The earth is crumbling
Fragile, fragile
I believe I've reached
To that limit point
Where you don't even know
What you want, what you want,
When I'll jump
Into this void in front of me
Maybe I'll feel
The taste of free fall
I've never done it
But the moment comes and then
Just one step and go
With the wind in my eyes I see
The lights of my city,
That from up here
Seems to me
Small, small
I sit with my legs dangling
On the edge of immensity
In the whirlwind of steep
Falls, steep
When I'll jump
Into this void in front of me
Maybe I'll feel
The taste of free fall
Can't stop
I wouldn't give up for anything in the world
Now it's time, go!
I launch myself, it only took a moment
I don't look because there's nothing below me
My parachute to defend myself
I know it's you...
A precise shot and you'll open
It's never too late
Don't let me fall alone anymore...
And now as I look down
The earth getting closer to me
Now I know how the taste of free fall is
It's a descent that I wish
Would never end
Like the most beautiful dreams you'll have.
