[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
My whole life written down in the morning paper
With people reading me, judging me
Never stopping once to think about what I did
To get up here where the vertigo hits suddenly
Success steals the best part of you
’Cause you gotta give it to the ones who listen
And who knows if they really hear me
Or they feel me only in the dead moments
This life keeps moving
The plane is going down, first class won’t save you
It’s just a softer way to die
Sometimes it’s stupid thinking that I’m tired
I’m just a picture on a poster
I’m just a voice you don’t hear, you just watch
I’m just a human who made it
’Cause I still had more things to say
And not because…
This chain around my neck just weighs me down (Yeah)
I woke up, the night left me suggestions (Yeah)
This money was only a consequence
When you know if you turn around, it all falls first
“How can you still be sad?
How can you still be sad?
How do you hold all this together?”
I don’t break, I always resist, yeah

[Chorus]
I only ever wished for one thing
We were richer back when we had nothing
In an old photograph it’s still us there
I don’t see the light ’cause the light is us
There’s still a couple wishes left inside
This money only makes life less beautiful

Love don’t mean much when it isn’t real
And you stay innocent, another wish

[Verse 2]
Come here, take another picture
I’m just a trophy in a gallery
I’m eating a lot without any hunger
I asked for everything with arrogance
All these people clap, they give you emotion
But if they want, they’ll execute you
I had a mission: make my father proud (And no)
I was tired even when I slept, even when I rested
With these hands I climbed a mountain
That’s why when I eat, I don’t wash them
Knife wounds counting on my back
Never a hand that gave me a push
That’s why I only say thanks to my mother
Or for a photo taken with a fan, yeah
Rain pouring, I’m soaked to the bone
I’ve only got one companion left
And he still calls me Manuele
Doesn’t even know my stage name
I’m losing my humility
I’m winning every race
Before the world goes to hell
I gotta pull off another miracle

[Chorus]
I only ever wished for one thing
We were richer back when we had nothing
In an old photograph it’s still us there
I don’t see the light ’cause the light is us
There’s still a couple wishes left inside
This money only makes life less beautiful
Love don’t mean much when it isn’t real
And you stay innocent, another wish

[Outro]
You stay innocent, another wish
It’s us, I don’t see the light
I don’t see the light
