Umberto Tozzi - We Are All the Same (Gli altri siamo noi) lyrics

I've lived inside my head Or in an ivory tower And looking out that life I looked from deep within I walked along the street And never saw a face I stayed away from truth because the truth was very Hard to take All the loneliness, all the torture I would tell myself "there but for fortune" But I have loved and lost I have cried alone I am every man and I know We are all the same The walls are falling down We feel the wind of change We try to stay divided The world gets in the way And those who have too much Maybe they don't have enough If they are so apart from life That they're too scared to open up All the emptiness, all the hate and lies They will tell themselves "there but fate go I" They may never know They are part of us They may tell each other they are not the same But as the rivers rise They will realise We are all the same We are the same When we sing and cry, when we live and die I am you, they are us, we are all the same In south Africa, Amazonia When we hope, when we dream We are all the same Look across the earth and see a stranger Look again and he will call your name Cause sooner or later in this little world We are all the same I cannot understand: when we are all the same Why do we see the differences, why do we separate? We don't know who we are And so we are afraid Believing we are masters but suspecting we are slaves (But) sure as the rivers rise we will realise We are all the same We are the same When we sing and cry, when we live and die I am you, they are us, we are all the same In south Africa, Amazonia When we hope, when we dream We are all the same We are the same We are the same
