Verrà (la guerra) - It Will Come (The War)

A year ago Russia invaded Ukraine...

I wrote this song in 1988, when people were beginning to discuss a possible conflict in the Gulf. Unfortunately, as we know, that conflict broke out in 1991. Today marks exactly one year since Russia invaded Ukraine, and I have decided to republish this song in honor of all the victims of wars around the world.

History has shown us that humanity tends to forget the horrors of the past, which can lead us to repeat the same mistakes with even greater ferocity and recklessness. I sincerely hope that one day we can end this spiral of violence and find a way to live in harmony with one another.
If we fail to do so, we will have failed as a species. But I am convinced that we can achieve a more peaceful and just world if we all strive towards it.
