Suono spesso appeso ad un filo
Passo a passo sempre più in là
Nel declino dell'arte a Occidente
Guido il branco in prima fila
L'emozione è fatta di niente
Salgo solo per la gloria
Per fare di un metro di terra
Un posto nella memoria.
Salgo la scala gradino per gradino
Cercando un qualcosa che mi porti su
Su sempre più in alto, in alto verso dove
Il pensiero è solo luce, e l'uomo è una poesia.
Ed è ancora più difficile avanzare nel tempo
Passo a passo sempre più in là
Difficile ormai vagheggiare nel vuoto
E senza paura sempre più in là.
Salgo la scala gradino per gradino
Cercando un qualcosa che mi porti su
Su sempre più in alto, in alto verso dove
Il pensiero è solo luce, e l'uomo è una poesia.
Ora ho capito che è il tempo di lasciare
La strada vuota a chi sa accelerare
Ed ora ho capito che è il tempo di andare
A prendere posto nel pubblico a guardare
Qualcun altro fare quello che facevo io
Con rivincita e rancore.
Ora sono Io.
