Qualcosa Che Non C'è

Something That Isn't There

All this time wondering
What's not leaving me alone
All these years wondering
If I'm really doing well
Like this
How I am
Like this

So one day
I wrote in my notebook
I will make the world dream with music
Not long after when all I needed
Was to take a leap to
Reach happiness
And the truth is

I waited a long time
For something that isn't there
Instead of watching the sun rise

This has always been a way
To stop time
And speed
The fast steps of people
The inattention
The words spoken
Without humility
Without heart like that
Just to make noise

I waited a long time
For something that isn't there
Instead of watching
The sun rise

And miraculously I didn't
Stop dreaming
And miraculously
I can't stop hoping
And if there's a secret
It's doing everything as
If you only saw the sun

A secret is doing everything
As if
Doing everything
As if
You only saw the sun
You only saw the sun
You only saw the sun

And not
Something that isn't there
