Tell me the meaning of life

What flies you to the world far away

Passing millions of faces and eyes

Over the white clouds

In the rain, in the snow, under the stars

Tell me the meaning of life

Hide from me the shadow from your humble childhood

The soft spot in your heart

The ambition that drives you around

the book you want to write

Tell me the meaning of life

The moment he walked in with golden sunshine

The moment he saw you in the crowd

His head turned to the side

You saw sorrow in his eyes

Tell me the meaning of life

Over a glass of wine

With her sitting there in a fine dress

glittering necklace around her neck

You know she is not a poor country girl

Who sold her soul for a better life

Tell me the meaning of life

The day a poor old man died

leaving all his struggles and pain

Of all the things he was deprived

Tell me, the meaning of life
