| I get in the car, I pass the first and I move forward
|
| I take the highway of life at full speed and I think
|
| I don't know where it will take me, one thing is certain: I'm taking the wheel
|
| Waiting for the hour when my soul will fly away
|
| I see a hitchhiker, it's a woman
|
| I pull over on the hard shoulder and I stall
|
| “What are you doing here all alone? |
| Who are you? |
| Where you go ?"
|
| I don't know why I stop I feel something deep inside me
|
| She answers me: "I am your wife, the one who will cherish you all your life
|
| Together we will build an empire
|
| I owe you respect like you owe me
|
| We're going to make a home, trust me, you'll see!"
|
| Go on climb, and I'll go on my way
|
| I don't know something has changed, I feel good
|
| Ready to bite into life
|
| Behind every great man hides a woman
|
| Maybe it's the mother of my children
|
| I drive and I see two kids in the distance
|
| Their faces remind me of someone
|
| I slow down, I stop, maybe they need help, "who you are? |
| "We are your children, your offspring
|
| Your worthy heirs, your pride we are your blood
|
| Take us in your arms, hold us close
|
| They say life is hard, we want to ride with you!”
|
| "Go on and climb my little ones, and put your seatbelt on
|
| The path is strewn with pitfalls it's true that life is hard
|
| Your grandfather taught me the meaning of righteousness
|
| Your mother will cover you, her love will be a roof”
|
| The further I go the older I feel
|
| I stop at every toll, wrinkles on my face
|
| Got a wife and two kids in 'ture
|
| Signs appear and signal me to slow down
|
| I take my foot off the accelerator
|
| I do it especially when I see the reflection of my kids on the mirror
|
| interior
|
| I have to assume them, provide for them
|
| Damn I need help, make sure they don't miss anything
|
| Hand on the wheel, my wife is smiling
|
| I light a cigarette and a signal flashes on the dashboard
|
| I'm almost out of gas, I have little money left
|
| We need fuel, there's a station at some terminal
|
| I take the slowdown lane, I decelerate, I brake gently
|
| Since the road is slippery
|
| I arrive at the station I put the full fuel
|
| I'm about to get in my station wagon and leave when
|
| A guy put his hand on my shoulder, he said, "wait"
|
| Want me to give him a moment
|
| He was classy, suit and tie, black moccasins
|
| Briefcase, looking through his dark glasses, he says to me
|
| "I am the Euro the Dollar
|
| In short, I am all the riches that this world has
|
| Everything I touch turns to gold you won't have to worry about money
|
| You will shine at the zenith like a diamond
|
| Look at you, aren't you tired of this life?
|
| Get your family out of misery I suggest you be rich
|
| Look at this: your children are painful to see
|
| Believe me I offer you wealth and fame
|
| I don't know this guy, I don't really feel it...
|
| He says he can change my life
|
| But at the same time I have more money
|
| I hesitate a little but I have no other choice, "go on climbing"
|
| Strangely my station wagon turns into a sedan
|
| And my Swatch turns into a Breitling
|
| My silver wedding ring turns to gold
|
| This guy was right, money makes you happy
|
| The mood is jovial, everyone is smiling
|
| But strangely, I stress and I get angry stupidly
|
| I mess with my wife, this guy looks happy
|
| At that precise moment I understood that I was missing something in my life
|
| The road darkens, my gaze darkens
|
| A black cloud above my head, I chain the cigarettes
|
| In fact I'm next to the Devil and I don't even know it
|
| I see his weird look, when a light appears there
|
| I walk towards this light, he tells me "change the way"
|
| But I hold on to the steering wheel tightly with both my hands
|
| An old man dressed in white stands in that glow
|
| I stop curious to know who radiates so much light
|
| And then I get out of the car, I approach the old man |
| And in a calm and reassuring tone he said to me:
|
| "I am the principles and the values
|
| Know that material never contributes to happiness
|
| That guy standing next to you is fake and sick
|
| He'll cause your downfall, he'll lead you astray
|
| I advise the Good and I advise against the Evil
|
| I feel your heart is stained, your soul is hurting
|
| They also call me Faith the one that calms your fears
|
| I have no money to offer you, just peace of mind"
|
| "It's all well and good what you say but I have everything I need
|
| A wife, kids and money, I basically lack nothing
|
| You look like a good person, but there's no more room in the cupboard
|
| I might come back for you but now I have to go"
|
| I go back in the box with a semblance of regret
|
| I accelerate, I'm more and more stressed
|
| I accelerate, and a colossus blocks my way
|
| I narrowly avoid it, but I lose control of my car
|
| Shit I'm hitting the guardrail
|
| My head breaks the windshield, my face is bloody
|
| I hear the sobs of my wife and my kids
|
| Stunned I get out of the car, but who is this man?
|
| "I'm the angel of death, I came to take your soul
|
| If you have the old man with you, I open the gates of Heaven to you, if not,
|
| it's hell
|
| You clung to the ephemeral and material things of this world
|
| But you don't take anything with you, you only take your works and your Faith" |
