Just give me your hand and let me tell you about hope and a possible
Tomorrow. Just silence your sorrow and give some steps ahead into
Infinity and delight. I am here…I am here…

Close your eyes and forget the pain…it is a bird without wings, it is
What we have to leave behind where nobody will ever look for or
Even find…I am here Dear…I am here…

Swallow your private drama and try to smile…hope must be somewhere.
Hope is so close and so far away…just keep telling me what you couldn’t
Say…

See the light? It is a bright new day full of promises and flowers…no…don’t
Count the minutes, the seconds, the hours…let life flows…I am granting
You all the time you need…don’t cry…don’t bleed…don’t let those beautiful
Eyes lose that sparkle…I am here…I am here…

Let’s break all the alarm clocks and watches, oh Dear…fear no more the
Cold and the rough sea…fear no more the time…let me lull you…let me
Cuddle you…I am here…I am here…

I look at you and I see my present and my past…so many things last when
There is more than our eyes can meet…Oh Dear…be strong…just be strong…
I am here…I am here…you are not alone.
