LYRICS:
"I'm leading alone this heavy gait
on a thin suspended rope,
I'm leading alone a hard useless life
that makes me tremble
and hurls me down.
In a painful hurting fall
to which I can't react at all
from day to day losing my strenght
of fighting against
bad thoughts and fears.
From day to day away from this heart
which throbs ever faster
scared by own weakness.
Scared by myself, scared by the others
scared by my mind and by my hurting arms,
feeling the weather like a beautiful willow
bended by a sudden wind
blowing in spring.
Oh, bending, not breaking,
keeping on dreaming
in a sort of enchantment
in which I keep living,
I want to fly high
and get close to my wishes.
Touch them with hands
vibrating with life
I'm flying in the wind
like a Mad Fallen Leaf
Then slowly I land and find
some rest on a flower.
It was blooming, then grew
and now it's starting to fade."
