lyrics

The trees are burning down, the trees are falling down, the trees, they go back to the ground.
But as long as you’re around, the trees will make no sound, they will not haunt me when I’m home.
The war is spreading fast, for centuries, it lasts, and sows its seeds in every heart.
But as long as you’re around, the war will not he found inside my head nor in my town.
And people just don’t care, they simply stand and stare when they see someone who suffers.
But as long as you’re around, the people they can howl, it will not hurt me not at all.
Please, don’t talk to me, don’t say a word, just stand in front of me. And I will stare at you, looking into your eyes, hoping you’ll un-derstand that what I tell you is the simple and naked truth.
The world is consumed by fire, surrounded by barbed wire, and everyday, the fear goes higher.
But as long as you’re around, my world will still go round, it will not be put upside down.
The streets are full of hate, the world is full of fate, the life of man, it has no taste.
But as long as you’re around, as long as you’re the one, the life I lead will have a sense.
