Una preghiera


Una preghiera mi manca quando cala la sera
come un'idea che cerca avventura
gli gira in testa ma non è chiara
una preghiera da un'anima che è stata un po' avara
ma che ha tentato in ogni maniera
di urlare dalle sue quattro mura e qui
datemi un dio che venga a dirmi uomo sono io
il grande padre, tu un figlio mio
mi bussi in petto almeno una volta
poi sarebbe diverso anche per noi sarebbe diverso
io pregherei per quello che ho perso
Tu non mi basti più
una preghiera per questa nostra storia insicura
per questo amore che non vuol crescere mai
adesso pregherei verso chi non saprei
datemi un dio che si presenti uomo sono io
il grande padre, tu un figlio mio
certo urlerei ti prego mio Dio
dammi un po' del tuo tempo
per un amore che non ha scampo
che cerca quella luce che non trova mai
e salvalo tu puoi.
Amata mia è tempo di guardarci negli occhi di più
ed ogni bugia sostituirla con la realtà che sei tu
una preghiera prima di addormentarmi la sera
a un Dio che se ascoltasse direi
Lasciala qui tu puoi

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
