Family

(And) breaking the silence
When I'm thinking of you
I'm far away from your hands
Far from you, far from your folks
But it doesn't really matter
 
I don't know either your home
Your town or your name
Poor, rich or bastard
White, all black or weird
I recognize your face
 
And you're looking for a picture
You're looking for a place
Where I drift sometimes
 
You're from my family1
From my order, from my rank
The one I've chosen
The one I feel
In this army of ordinary people
 
You're from my family
Far more than the blood's one
Few seconds
In this strange world
I hope he protects you if he hears you
 
You don't really know where you're going
How or why
You don't believe in a lot of things
Neither gray nor all pink
But what you believe, it's yours
 
You're part of the losers
Consciously, viscerally
And you look down
But you won't fall down
As long as we need you
 
And you take the happiness
As grapes
Little job of little thing
 
You're from my family
 
You're from my family, you're from my family
From the same rank, from the same wind
You're from my family, you're from my family
Inhabitant of the same time
You're from my family, you're from my family
Let's interbreed our lives from time to time
