u zivot da se vratim
kucnuo je cas
da prestanem da patim
dugo sam u cet'ri zida
samog sebe kaznjavao
predugo sam samovao
Ref.
Palite se, svetla Velegrada
stizem jaci nego sto sam bio
nista nije izgubljeno, zivot ide dalje
proslost sam zaboravio
Kucnuo je cas
da se vidi gde sam
kucnuo je cas
da budem to sto jesam
zvezde su se poklopile
i Bog je na mojoj strani
dosli su mi bolji dani
Ref.
