Proprio all'angolo della finestra c'e un bel quarto di luna
e stelle come se piovesse dal cielo una fontana
sarebbe da venirti a prendere e portarti a ballare
se non l'avessimo già fatto, se non avessimo da fare
Ci vuole orecchio e pazienza
per questa piccola voce
muscoli e competenza
anche per portare la croce...
Ma dall'angolo della finestra la luna si è spostata
come la vita che passa o che l'abbiamo passata
cosi' tanto per vivere senza farci del male
ma saper vivere non basta
e non basta saper cantare
Da quest'angolo di finestra si vede un pezzo di strada
un esercito ritorna a casa sotto la pioggia ghiacciata
in una terra spaccata e ferita sotto a un cielo di lava
ci sono cani affamati che girano e gente nuda che scava
Ci vuole tempo e pazienza
per imparare il dolore
lacrime e competenza
per impastare l'amore....
Su questo pezzo di strada
dove la notte è padrona
dove c'è un orso che balla
e una scimmia che suona
e poi c'e sempre
lo stupido che si ferma a guardare
ma una canzone non basta
e non basta saper cantare"
