I can hear the truth, act the play of childish sobbing
I played and lost the game, homesick alone in a familiar place
Perhaps I'll stand the truth, seek for the truth
See that hell is a place without love
Perhaps I played with you, laughed with your voice
And hell is a place without love
You laugh at my picture
You cry at my laughter
You seek and pray
One more step to the future, twice for the past
Like a comet landing in my arms
That came back for a while
Maybe gone forever in a planet of mystery and hope
Perhaps I'll find the truth, seek for the truth
See that hell is a place without love
You laugh at my picture
You cry at my laughter
You seek and pray
Well, Man... You, that do not hear me, you, that don’t exist anymore; take a look at the planet you wanted all for yourself; see it dead, wasted. See the centuries pass without life, without hope; see what you have done; maybe then the sun will rise again. The stars; perhaps the stars will shine again at night. The water will flow. You will hear a baby’s crying, the thundering astral sound of creation. That very day you will stand on your feet. There will be a horizon for you to gaze at, and ground for you to step on. But you - you begin with a promise. Do not provide authority; give freedom. Leave the pain behind; leave competition. There is no one against you. Live in unity, stay in harmony. Do never see poor people, do not make people rich. Do not let anyone be homeless, do never leave a child in hunger. Make the right wish; settle for life. No racism, no homophobia, no borders drawn with rulers, no crowns, no mortal gods.
So Man. You that can not hear me; you, that don’t exist anymore; here I stand before you; dry from desire and dry from fear; filled with dreams and armed with hope in a future warm, lively and bright. Oh, man…
