The World Became The World

作词 : Mussida, Pagani, Premoli ...

Outside my window in the courtyard of the world

The gentle rain was falling

No breath of wind, no cry of beast or bird

Too quiet, too still, I turned...

To see the raindrops like a thousand poet's words

splash their circles on the stones

And seem to wash over everything with love

And for a moment the courtyard heard

Until the sun came bursting through the clouds

Hung up his rainbows in the sky

And with a laugh of flames said, "Now go chase the gold"

And the world became the world ...

Now we're all travellers some seekers and some sought

Who leave the courtyard to be caught

In nets of self, damned certainty and choice

But do you believe our voice?

You... you've got what must belong to me

I need! I'll bleed for more possessions

You... you've got no right to disagree

Bow! Kneel! Or fear my aggressions

Thank God if sometimes your oyster holds a pearl

When the world remains the world ...
