let's go there where the road is hard
but you’re happy and that's enough
let's open up
let's be free
let us show our soul to the world
let's make things that eliminate  our tensions
let us write to express ourselves
let us run in the wild
let us contemplate nature
let us listen to the sound of the wind
let's go where nothing is usual
where everything is new
where we finally find ourselves
where we’re not shy
where we can say everything
and act as children
and talk like grownups
and think like our grandparents
let's talk about death , about life
about the conscience
about the human behaviour
about sexuality
about kids
about adults
let's sit on the floor
and read books
and listen to loud music
let's tell each other all our secrets
our childish fears
our simplest pleasures
about what makes us happy and sad
i want to take a walk around the world
to see the sun above me
and the sea behind me
let me stare at strange faces
and let me guess about what they’re thinking of
let me hide in a house in a forest
where no one knows me
and i don’t even know myself yet
let me take your hand
and we will face this together
nothing will stop us
and nothing will makes us sad
we have detached ourselves from worries and regrets
we have learned to be thankful
to always believe in a greater power
to know that our road is simple and complicated
to know that the truth is always hidden in the deepest seas
and that lies float at the bottom of the oceans
i want to listen to unknown songs
to read books that people never knew existed
to get to know someone who is talented but not famous
to visit houses
and see what they keep in their bedrooms
what is their vision of life
how they see themselves
i want memories that keep me alive
i want a world that understands
i want people to feel me
to know me
to get to know me
not because i’m special
but because simply i’m like the others
