We get wiser when we get older. And we can get heavier thats a fact. We cry longer many years later looking back. It will do that in my youth. I had the world in my hands.
Melloni-Zandon-Pizzoli-Lovecchio. Dorme il cane nel canile. ed il bimbo nel bimbile. dorme il fuco nel fucile. e il contino nel baldacchino. Dorme mamma dorme il figlio.
Melloni-Pizzoli-Zandon-Lovecchio-Maggio-. Quanto camminerai nella tua vita. piccoli piedi e poi grande fatica. quanta ne incontrerai di gente strana. con cui dividerai pezzi di strada.
Cheers from a high school football game. On American Friday Night. A chorus of the Pledge of Allegiance. As the Veteran's rewind the fight. . The crowd roars and the quarterback scores.

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank. Our cribs were covered in lead based paint. No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars. Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are.

I don't mean to blow you off. I never even thought to call you. When I saw you yesterday. You said everything was fine. . And all this laughing. Means I'm running away.
All of out lives and all our dreams. Seems to come apart at the seams. But in the night we dream of better things to come. . There's gotta be a better way.
