A Song To Feel Alive

Lucio Battisti

In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes

A feeling with no fears
Is born among the tears
And flying high above it all
It goes
Soaring over all the accusations
Over prejudice and affectations
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way

In a world like this
One day we'll find a home
Everyone's confined
Where wild roses have been sown
A song to feel alive and free
Blooms that fall
Is you and me
They'll seem to call
The image of the truth
The woods are all abandoned
Is naked there to see
Overgrown by neglect and misery
It speaks of a reality
But we will see
That will be
Their mystery
All the new sensations
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
Our need for love will grow and stay
Showing us the way
And I'll discover you
I'll discover you

Oh sweet companion
Who doesn't know where to go or what to do
Or by whose side you'll be
Look and you'll see

One day we'll find a home
Where wild roses have been sown
Blooms that fall
They'll seem to call

The woods are all abandoned
Overgrown by neglect and misery
But we will see
Their mystery

In a world like this
Nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you
I see eternity
Shining in the skies
Far beyond the universe
Of your eyes

All the new sensation
Are young and true emotions
They express their clarity
For us
The phantom shapes of a forgotten past
Will fall away and we will see at last
