When I was a child living in our tiny apartment
Under the stars with the people and animals and in the dust
The power would crack out and things would stop whirring
And Papa would bring in Andrea Boccelli the angel that soothes my every fear
To this day l'ultimo re is a comfort just as it was in the stifling heat when all my senses were shut down
He filled my ears with beauty and I didn't need to see anything in the dark
Because my ears saw light dancing through my head
I treasure this in my heart
Like a much needed embrace
Or the perfect words
It's just what I have always needed
To remind me I come from the dust and the stars
