Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! I puffed the smoke
And went up toward the sky
I went so high till I met the Lord
I got close and I said hi.
Chorus
Oh! Lord almighty Lord
Tell us what to do
So we the people of the world
Get to know who are you.
He smiled at me in a friendly way
And he said: "listen son.
He who knows well is not a sheikh
And she's surely not a nun.
Don't look for me inside the church,
The temple or the mosque.
To find me you should not search
Where do the common folk".
So I said...
Chorus
"Why not look well around you
When you are in the wild?
Why not feel the peace in you
When playing with a child?
Why can't you listen to the wind
Blowing in your ears?
All of this is just a hint
For you and for your peers."
But I said...
Chorus
All what you've heard is just a joke
You'll never know who I might be.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Just puff the smoke
And you may rise up and see.
