Foer Ett Barn

May you stumble on those stones, I never tripped on
So that you can then rise, and walk more steadily
You can never ever prevent, all the paths of sorrow's birds
But you can prevent them from building nests, and flying low
So may you reach out to darkness, say hello with an open mouth
So you always perceive the pain, in every happy moment
For I love you, I love you, and even more and more
But may you not stand in the shadow, of the love I give you

I will wait by a water, you will get lost, child
Hold your head high, take your time
I will wait by a water

You have been given this everyday life, to long for something else
So try to fight the boredom, with your silver saxophone
May you meet someone on the path, who gives you all their loyalty
And who loves you faithfully, for something you don't know

I will wait by a water

Promise me to never blindly trust, what I've said
Trust yourself, but above all, be on your guard
I cannot give you life, you can find rest in my arms
You shall make your own songs, under your own name

I will wait by a water
