Io son sicuro che
Per ogni goccia
Per ogni goccia che cadrà
Un nuovo fiore nascerà
E su quel fiore una farfalla volerà

Io son sicuro che
In questa grande immensità
Qualcuno pensa un poco a me
Non mi scorderà

Sì, io lo so
Tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
Un giorno lo saprò
D'essere un piccolo pensiero
Nella più grande immensità 
Di quel cielo
Sì, io lo so
Tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò

Nell'immensità
Sì, io lo so
Tutta la vita sempre solo non sarò
Un giorno io troverò
Un po' d'amore anche per me
Per me che sono nullità
Nell'immensità
