Tightly between my hands
Holding my face again
But this time I have to take action
Today, at last, I'll raise my head
Taking at least a bow
Before the crowd leaves
Without any clapping
I will disconnect
All the choices in my life
All the ones I've never had the courage to make
Were there for a reason
To prove me that I was different
That I could drop out of the queue slowing marching to the altar
Where every human being is labeled and standardized
I can still do something
Now that nothing remains for me
To set an example to the ones behind me
I have never been the one that people imitate
But tonight I'll finally take off my weight
Crawling in the desert of my imagination
On the way up the white stairs that divide me from the final station
Carry on!
You were my dream
A dream that came true
And now what I have is a handful of nothing
Clenching my fist I realize
I wanted more from my work (did I contend?)
Even more for my son (was it worth it?)
In a blink of an eye my time started to run out
Life's not so good as to forewarn us
Watching a building from the cold street that I am walking
I feel a magnetic attraction I cannot explain
I hear it say to me: Come up here, you'll find all the answers you want
I close my eyes and go where my heart is pulling strongly
And like a last wish, the destiny gives consent to it
Step after step I will climb the stairs until I'll see the shining moonlight
I'll be so near the short-sighted gods
They'll surely see me this time
I see you among the stars and
I'll reach you, I give my word
These white stairs divide me from the final station
Carry on!
Finally here, alone with myself
All I see an infinite stairway
Cry, shiver but don't look back now
I'm shining on my own and rising from the ashes of my demons gone
I see no turning back from this last decision I made tonight
I'm still up on the ledge and as I stand up I decide if
This journey led me to step forward or to step back
You
Who are you? Who's talking?
You didn't have the courage to take center stage at work
How do you know!
You didn't have the courage to give the world a child when you could have
But I couldn't have given him the life he deserved!
Shut up, liar! You didn't have the courage to change anne's mind!
She could have cured herself! She could have saved herself!"
The doctor said it was nearly impossible!
And now, you don't even have the courage to end it all!
Adam, adam? Wake up, it's late! You've got to go to work!
Anne!?
Yes?
What are you doing here?
What? Are you ok?
You, you were
I was what?
You were dead
Oh, you're so scared! Maybe you had a fitful sleep
I know you just want a big big breakfast prepared by your lovely anne, isn't it?
Yes, like in the old days
Old days? The last time was yesterday!
It's not important, I have you here again
Come here anne, come here my love
Adam? Adam, everything is ok! Hey, adam!
