22 Settembre

I prefer to live
Without ever asking again
I prefer to hold on
Than to let go

I live in the comparison
Of a century and a second
And I don't find it so absurd
That the world is an instinct

Do you mind if we leave each other
That desire returns
Then come close to me
And tell me a secret

I know of an old madman
Who talks to people
About things that never happened
To live a little elsewhere

I take life as it is
This journey that starts from within
That never asks for permission from me
I take life as it is

You can leave now
The old beliefs
We will build new ones
With my new words

I'll take care of everything
You'll have to trust a little
And forgive the coldness
But I hope you'll save me

To stay silent
In more autumnal evenings
I remember myself in a park saying
"Show how much you're worth"

And never be dismayed
If a dream doesn't reveal itself
I've seen excluded people
Laughing heartily

I take life as it is
This journey that starts from within
That never asks for permission from me
I take life as it is

I won't take that train
That leads to the future
No, I want to enjoy
Even a simple minute

And on the 22nd of September
I'll return to that place
You know what I mean
But now I can't

I can't afford it anymore
I have to get up and turn on the light
I won't write the music
But the life of people

I feel a mission
And I swear I'll reach the goal
Singing in the dead of winter
To bring the spring

I take life as it is
This journey that starts from within
That never asks for permission from me
I take life as it is
