La mia vita cominciò
Come l’erba come il fiore
E mia madre mi baciò
Come fossi il primo amore

La la la la la
La la la la la

Nasce cosi
La vita mia
Come comincia
Una poesia

Io credo che lassù
C’era un sorriso anche per me
La stessa luce che
Si accende quando nasce un re

Una stella una chitarra
Primo amore biondo e mio
Con l’orgoglio dei vent’anni
E anzi ma vi dissi addio

E me ne andai
Verso il destino
Con l’entusiasmo
Di un bambino

Io credo che lassù
C’era un sorriso anche per me
La stessa luce che
Si accende quando nasce un re

La la la la la
La la la la la

Ma sono qui
Se tu mi vuoi
Amore dei
Vent’anni miei

Io credo che lassù
Qualcuno aveva scritto già
L’amore mio per te
E tutto quello che sarà

Io credo che lassù
