Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / It serves everyone
Down there where Jonah wails
in the healing water
in the ready depths
Twisting like silver swans
No line of death no boundaries
Up there
The eye is hollow / The eye is winking
The winds ablaze / Angels howling
The sphinx awakens / But what can she say
You'd be amazed
Down there
Your days are numbers
Nothing to fear
There will be trumpets
There will be silence
In the end the end
Will be here just here
Ahh the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched on Mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey Man don't breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets we're inside out
And everybody's a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / It serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea
It's no mystery / Not sentimental
Ahh the equation / It's all elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux / Angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say
Man's been forewarned
All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet understanding
It's all for man / It's for everyone
It's up there, down there
Everywhere / Everywhere
Time for communion / Time for communion
Talking communion ...
The lyrics UP THERE DOWN THERE of PATTI SMITH is also present in the album Dream of life (1996)
Patti Smith (Patricia Lee Smith) è una cantautrice, poetessa e artista statunitense nata a Chicago nel 1946. Considerata un'icona del rock alternativo, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti con il suo stile unico che fonde punk, poesia e performance teatrale. Nel decennio settanta, Smith si è affermata come figura chiave del movimento proto-punk e della New wave, guadagnandosi il soprannome di "sacerdotessa maudite del rock" per il suo carisma interpretativo e la profondità dei suoi testi. Il suo album di debutto, *Horses* (1975), è considerato un classico del genere e contiene brani iconici come "Gloria", "Because the Night" e "Piss Factory". Smith ha collaborato con artisti come Bruce Springsteen, Iggy Pop e Fred Sonic Smith. La sua carriera si è estesa oltre la musica, includendo anche l'attività di scrittrice e artista visiva. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo *Radio Ethiopia* (1976), *Easter* (1978) e *Wave* (2004).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
