Oh, I wanted to make the same collection! :) I'll then just suggest that you add this one Mirkoeilcane - Stiamo tutti bene
It's a heart-breaking song about the current migrant crisis, a story told from the perspective of a migrant child.

Song mentions the immigrant crisis, specially those that come by sea (where crocodiles lurk). Song mentions a mother telling her son to stay away from strong currents.
