lyrics

RESTLESS FLAME
Lyrics: Giovanni Mastrangelo
Music: Giovanni Mastrangelo, Nicola Cicerale

Waitin' at the gate like the blind
Hoping for more without a word to say
But while the blind he is sure
The sun will come back with the morning
What are we certain of.

Cursed in vain the blowin' winds we're moving to the shore
Sand is burnin' our lips the ship can wait no more.

People in trouble come and go
Nothing is changin’ under the sun
The way that we walk is bitter and hard
And leads to the place where there are no chains
Reach out and touch the restless flame of freedom.

Cursed in vain the blowin' winds we're moving to the shore
Sand is burnin' our lips the ship can wait no more.

So, everything shall pass
And the trees give up their fruits
Men, they don’t need a master
All they want is just a way to be
Keep your fire high, make it shine bright.

Cursed in vain the blowin' winds we're moving to the shore
Sand is burnin' our lips the ship can wait no more.
