Music and lyrics by Dino Šaran

Riječ, još samo riječ
Ti ćeš otići do kraja, ja ću izaći iz stana.
Bijes, ostaje bijes
I ne čini mi se da smo jedno drugom bolja strana,
ovih dana.

Suša je svud.
Al' tijela koja isto dišu mogu prizvati tu kišu
U san, za novi dan
Nek' nas opere od grijeha
i nek' odnese ih rijeka.

Nek' otopi se led sa usana
Da li iko zna za red u srcima
Za ruke drže se munja i grom
Oduvijek zajedno...

A svi u svijetu svom.
I ti i ja.

Riječ samo još riječ
Sve će otići do kraja, svi će izaći.
