In a land like this one, And a time as dark as this I was lost in the middle of that huge crowd, In the middle of all those eyes, All those faces... I've been looking everywhere But I never found... I never saw and never heard I've been waiting for a long, long time For him to show up, To arrive Even since the beginning of time Since God has created Adam & Eve, Has created love Life cannot exist without believing And I strongly believe in Your arrival I know you'll come someday, I know you'll violently slip Into my heart and my life A long time ago, I knew you'd come Just like a dawn to A lonely night…. I ran and I ran Searching for you everywhere! But it was too dark And too crowded Every time I hear whispers In my ear… And my heart starts beating I tell myself that must be love, Must be you... But, I was wrong So wrong Years passed by, And I kept walking In those lonely and crowded Streets of life Thousands of eyes have Crossed mine But, have seen no life In any of those eyes Didn't hear any heartbeats Calling mine This time might not be mine, Nor this land is, The land of non humans And stone hearts... But it's where I live anyway Can't find you anywhere, Can't even hear your voice Time is passing, Your silhouette is getting clearer In my mind and in my dreams Now those fake whispers Can never make my little heart beat But you never come Though I know you will, someday I believe in this, In you And only then I will stop using my brain I will stop being reasonable My heart will be the one And only master! « return. |
