Fiori nelle mani (Flowers in your hands) is a collection of 11 songs united by a common denominator. \"I attempted to explore the relationship between father and son,\" De Chirico explains, \"I felt the need to leave my children a sort of testament. What I hope for their lives is that, when it comes time for them to harvest what they've diligently planted, they might end up with a handful of sweet-smelling, colorful flowers. Amidst the struggles of daily life, the \"flowers in our hands\" represent happiness and gratification. This is what I hope my children will find.\" http://www.gospel.it/dechirico/flowers.html
lyrics (Translations by Maureen Hurst)
5. (Little One)
little one
in your simplicity
you teach my heart
lessons about life
little one
you walk serenely in this world
unaware of the distinctions
made by men
little one
how i want to be like you
i see you as you run home
and i smile at the thought that you belong to me
knowing that you're running home to me
little one
you always come to me for help
you want to be with me always
not just when you need me
little one
so unconditionally
you put your faith in arms
stronger than your own
little one
how i want to be like you
to have those same thoughts
to have that same need
of a father who's alive in me
little one
how sweetly you sleep
your peaceful expression
is a mirror
of what lies within
little one
how different you are from me
from my way of life
so full of tension
little one
how i want to be like you
your presence in my life is a teacher
your smile is an assurance
an assurance of the love of god
6. (farewell marita)
good-bye you gave so much to me
i guess our love was never meant to be
but thank you marita
years flew quickly by
but i never could forget
suddenly once more one day we met
you stretched your arm out to me
the needle marks were clear
stranger can you help me will you hear
you took the coins i gave you
as i uttered your name
you cried but didn't answer
then you were gone again
and then i read the paper
just before i went on stage
you'd overdosed and turned your final page
farewell marita...
i simply couldn't sit there
i just had to take a walk
my eyes were burning and i couldn't talk
and tears were mixed with rain
as i stumbled down the street
you wanted peace and love but found deceit
it seemed so very harmless just a bit of fun
but it led you to destruction
now i know that you are gone
but the picture i'll remember
is that sunny summer day
running towards me
laughing on your way
farewell marita...
8. (Out of Style)
bombarded with news
so unsettling so overwhelming
overdoses of internal fears
it's impossible to get away
from this rat race
a symptom of continuous delusions
senseless acts that keep repeating themselves
promises that disappear on the wind
surrounded by individuals
masquerading as innocents
products of apathetic silence
while others are reactionaries
refusing to be defeated
brooding over regrets of years gone by
and i find myself here thinking
how great it is to be able to confess to you that
i believe in you
even it it's out of style
out of this world
outside of everything
yes i believe in you
and since i've known you
i've come to understand what i was
frustrated marionettes
boasting of their independence
running from obscure ideals
yet they like others
have always been victims
of the ravaging moth of pride
and they haughtily offer themselves to the tailor
as new patches on an old piece of cloth
i believe in you...
all i can do is sing
of the sad condition of this world
and point to real alternatives
the creator is calling
he's waiting for sincere hearts
humble hearts submitted to him
there is no chance in life without him
renew your thoughts refresh your mind
i believe in you...
10. (Shine on Sun)
how many more years will be burned up
in the unquenchable longing
for true feelings
how many more years will i cry
seeing those outstretched hands
that beg for life
i'm waiting to hear
the sound of laughter
of his revived creation
singing for joy
shine on sun
and warm me once again
surround me wind
and caress my skin
intoxicate me flower
with your sweet perfume
tell me that it's true
that god hasn't forgotten about me
how many more years will i walk
amidst dense fog and dark nights
and mysterious silence
how many more years will i play the part
defending trite ideas
and convenient pretenses
i'm waiting to hear
the sound of laughter
of his revived creation
singing for joy
shine on sun...
