Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
Mum, tell me, what is this place that I don't know?
Everyone's running here, and they are so many,
It looks like a big big spider spinning its web.

Raising my head, I look up and I am so surprised
Mum, tell me, why do the houses want to eat the sky?
Everything's immense here, and there are only walls
It looks like people locked themselves in a grey jail

Lowering my head, I look down, and I am so amazed
Mum, how come I don't have mud under my feet?
Their hard ground hurts and burns my naked skin
It looks like I am in a kind of brand new world.

Mum, I didn't understand a thing about what they told me
They said they are allowed to kill an unborn baby
In the Name of Progress they added, Mum, what's it?
I asked them if it was a God's name, and they laughed
And when I said they had no respect for Life and Nature
They stopped laughing telling me I was cruel and raugh

Mum, I didn't understand a thing about their way of thinking
They said they are allowed to sleep with anybody
In the Name of Sexual Freedom they added, Mum, what's it?
I asked them if it was a Religion and they laughed again
Mum, they make divine promises and they break them
They wouldn't even give their children a chance.

If the Witch-Hunt was not over they would hunt me
But Mum, I'm not a monster, I promise, I'm not a monster
They kept saying I am heartless, and cruel, Mum I promise
I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster, I just can't talk like them.
The truth is that they hide themselves from the sun like rats
Because they don't wanna try and know where they come from.

Mum, I can't breathe and I'm barely hanging on
Oh! Mother!! Where are you?! Where are you?!
I'm looking all over the place but I can't find you!
Hear me! Hear me!! I'm crying out!! Oh, Mum,...
I'm lost inside this crowd, I'm lost inside this night
Why are you not going through it to take my hand?

Mum, I keep running but my lungs are to blow out!
Why are not taking my hand to show me the way?
And the streets are so long that I can't see the end!
My head is like a bomb, I'm going mad Mum, I'm losing my grip!
Mum, why are you not wiping my tears away?
Please Mum, come and drag me out this nightmare!!
Quick! Hurry up!! They are sucking the life from me!

It's over now they put my face against the ground
And now, I'm cold, alone, and nothing means a thing to me
Hold me tigh my little Mum, don't let me go away, please...
