When You Are Down and Out
When you are down and out
When you feel alone
When the key no longer fits
When you no longer feel safe
When you can’t reach; reach whom it concers
When you can’t reach; reach the ones you love
When you can’t reach; reach the one you love
When you are isolated
When you can’t have visitors
When you aren’t allowed visitors
When you needed a friend
When you needed more than a friend
When you needed a shoulder; to talk too
When you needed a hug
When you needed more than a hug
When you needed; love
When «how are you?» are to be answered with «I’m fine, how are you?»
When you aren’t ready for a good advice
When you are down and out
Then «social distance» doesn’t help
Then «no hugging» doesn’t help
When you are down and out
How are you really?
Really; how are you?
When you are down and out
I see «andrà tutto bene» written on the wall
Everything is not going well; I know that
But; things will get better
Even; when you are down and out
