(Gli Altri Siamo Noi)I've lived inside my heador in an ivory towerand looking out that life I looked from deep withina cloudI walked along the streetand never saw a faceI stayed away from truth because the truth was veryhard to takeAll the loneliness, all the tortureI would tell myself "there but for fortune"But I have loved and lostI have cried aloneI am every man and I knowWe are all the sameThe walls are falling downwe feel the wind of changewe try to stay dividedthe world gets in the wayand those who have too muchmaybe they don't have enoughif they are so apart from lifethat they're too scared to open upAll the emptiness, all the hate and liesthey will tell themselves "there but fate go I"they may never knowthey are part of usthey may tell each other they are not the samebut as the rivers risethey will realisewe are all the samewe are the sameWhen we sing and cry, when we live and dieI am you, they are us, we are all the samein south Africa, Amazonia,when we hope, when we dreamwe are all the sameLook across the earth and see a strangerlook again and he will call your namecause sooner or later in this little worldwe are all the sameI cannot understand: when we are all the samewhy do we see the differences, why do we separate?We don't know who we areand so we are afraidBelieving we are masters but suspecting we are slaves(But) sure as the rivers rise we will realisewe are all the samewe are the sameWhen we sing and cry, when we live and dieI am you, they are us, we are all the samein south Africa, Amazoniawhen we hope, when we dreamwe are all the samewe are the samewe are the same
