Il mio sguardo
Si riposa
Nelle valli
Scappa
Sulle colline
E fugge
Oltre le Alpi
Per trovare
Rifugio
Oltre l’oceano
Al presente
Dove c’e’ vita
La mia anima
Mi porta al passato
A un ricordo
amato ma abbandonato
Oltre il mare
Sulle colline
Dentro il paese
In un rifugio
Racchiuso dai sogni
È non più una vita
