[Premiata Forneria Marconi - The World Became The World lyrics]
Outside my window in the courtyard
Of the world the gentle rain was falling
No breath of wind no cry of a beast or bird
Too quiet, too still, I turned
To see the raindrops
Like a thousand poet's words
Splash their circles on the stones
They seemed to wash over everything with love
And for a moment, the courtyard heard
Until the sun came bursting
Through the clouds
Hung up his rainbows in the sky
And with a laugh of flames, said:
"Now go chase the gold!"
And the world became the world
Now we're all travellers, some seekers
And some sought
Who'd leave the courtyard to be caught
In nets of self, damned certainty and choice
But do you believe our voice?
You you've got what must belong to me
I need! I'll bleed for more possessions!
You you've got no right to disagree!
Bow! Kneel! Or fear my aggressions!
Thank God, if sometimes
Your oyster holds a pearl
When the world remains the world
Of the world the gentle rain was falling
No breath of wind no cry of a beast or bird
Too quiet, too still, I turned
To see the raindrops
Like a thousand poet's words
Splash their circles on the stones
They seemed to wash over everything with love
And for a moment, the courtyard heard
Until the sun came bursting
Through the clouds
Hung up his rainbows in the sky
And with a laugh of flames, said:
"Now go chase the gold!"
And the world became the world
Now we're all travellers, some seekers
And some sought
Who'd leave the courtyard to be caught
In nets of self, damned certainty and choice
But do you believe our voice?
You you've got what must belong to me
I need! I'll bleed for more possessions!
You you've got no right to disagree!
Bow! Kneel! Or fear my aggressions!
Thank God, if sometimes
Your oyster holds a pearl
When the world remains the world
