ALL THESE STORIES
So many stories, so many circumstances
To deal with in life, to cope with everyday.
Anxiety and fear, neverending worries,
to deal with in life, to cope with everyday.
Growing up should be so easy.
Loving yourself, knowing you are special.
Reality kicks in harder than expected.
It’s not that easy, not that easy.
Defining who you are, your own way of living.
In friendship and love, and the choices that you make.
Not letting go of your own inner values.
Being true to yourself in what you do.
Growing up should be so easy.
Loving yourself, knowing you are special.
Reality kicks in harder than expected.
It’s not that easy, not that easy.
In every darkness there is light.
Open up and let it in, open up and let it in.
In every valley there is hope.
Open up and let it in, open up and let it in.
Growing up should be so easy.
Loving yourself, knowing you are special.
Reality kicks in harder than expected.

A YEAR OF CHANGING
Lying here in my bed the first day of this new year,
I don’t know what will happen and I don’t know what to expect.
I know for sure that the last year was a tough one.
Out of the battles that were fought, some of them were done and some of them were not.
Will this year become lifechanging?
Is it time for my dreams to come true?
Or will it be another year of waiting?
Another year to wait for you.
I have so many dreams, so many thoughts and hopes
for the future, not just for years ahead, but also for today.
Maybe my dreams seem like normality to you,
just everydaylife, but that is all I want right now – so I ask;
Will this year become lifechanging?
Is it time for my dreams to come true?
Or will it be another year of waiting?
Another year to wait for you.
A new year carries a lot of expectations,
it sure does for me, this is how I need it to be.
Maybe the last year was a tough one, which you still need closure to,
it’s time for something new.
Something fresh and something free.
For chains to be broken now it’s time for me
to live and be free, live and be free, live and be free – so I ask;
Will this year become lifechanging?
Is it time for my dreams to come true?
Or will it be another year of waiting?
Another year to wait for you.
HOME
The holidays are coming up.
The days are getting slower.
Time to think, time to breathe.
It’s time to come together.
Families are gathered, the candles are lit.
The doors are closed, the food is served and the days are here..
To find a peace in where you’re going.
To be in a home where you rest in knowing
that you are safe, you are loved,
it’s time to rest.
Relaxed, comfortably, sitting in a chair.
Skimming through the headlines of the newspaper today.
Powerty, refugees, people losing their homes.
Cannot be affected, will not be affected.
Families are leaving to find shelter in a different land.
Give protection to their children, to find hope – to not live in fear..
Not knowing where they’re going.
To find a home wheere they rest in knowing,
that they are safe, they are loved,
it’s time to rest.
The days hav gone by, the holidays are over.
The time to think, the time to breathe.
Did it come with any answers, did it change anything.
The news is the same, the world is still the same.
Families were gathered, the candles were lit,
the doors were closed, the food was served, and the days were here..
To find a peace in where you’re going.
To be in a home where you rest in knowing
that you are safe, you are loved,
it’s time to rest.
WANDERING AROUND
I find myself caught in the middle of
a time and place I’ve tried to avoid.
Nothing really turned out the way it should,
and certainly not the way I hoped that it would.
Feels like I’m travelling alone on this path,
trying to find my way.
I’m tired of trying to do
everything right.
Looking back at all the places where I have been,
from the very start till this day.
Feels like I’ve been climbing the highest rock,
all the way up and then down again.
Feels like I’m travelling alone on this path,
trying to find my way.
I’m tired of trying to do
everything right.
And I’ve been wandering around,
trying to be strong,
refusing to give up
my hope in you.
I have listened to everything you’ve said.
Kept your words close to my heart.
Now I’ve find myself feeling a bit scared,
that I have might heard something wrong.
I don’t know what else to do
than to follow you,
’cause somehow I know that I can
trust in you.
And I’ve been wandering around,
trying to be strong,
refusing to give up
my hope in you.
‘Cause I love you, I do, I love you.
I love you, I do, I trust in you.
So I’ll stop wandering around,
trying so hard to be strong.
But I will never stop,
believing in you.
LIVE IT
I’m calling you from down here below.
I’m calling you with all I am.
I’m calling you with the strength that I have left.
Do you hear me, won’t you hear me.
It’s a quite night in springtime.
It is light outside though in here it’s dark.
The long, dark curtains are hiding the sunrise.
Do you hear me, I know you hear me.
It will soon be morning, a new day is rising up.
Yesterday was just another day, already history.
You go girl find your joy.
It’s a whole new day – just go and live it.
It’s funny how the year has it’s seasons.
It’s like nature is talking about life.
Out of the icecold winter the flowers will bloom again.
Do you hear me, I know you hear me.
It will soon be morning, a new day is rising up.
Yesterday was just another day, already history.
You go girl find your joy.
It’s a whole new day – just go and live it.
Release the love you have inside.
Be who you are, don’t go and hide.
Speak out the words you wanna say.
Live your own life in your own way.
You go girl, find your joy.
You go girl, find your joy.
You go girl, find your joy.
You go girl, find your joy.
It will soon be morning, a new day is rising up.
Yesterday was just another day, already history.
You go girl find your joy.
It’s a whole new day – just go and live it.
Det var vi
Vi var unge, vi var frie, vi var klare.
Vi var åpne for de minner som vil vare.
Vi var modig, sterke, villige til å forklare,
Det vi hadde sett og hørt
Vår egen historie.
Vi var alle bærer av forskjellig oppvekst,
Som vi hadde med oss inn i en ny kontekst.
Ville dele, være ydmyke og vie
Det neste året i vårt liv
Til å skrive historie.
Åh, vi fant hverandre.
Åh, sammen skulle vi forandre.
Våre valg, vår verdi og våre tanker.
Vise verden at et hjerte fortsatt banker.
For alle de som strever her i livet.
I stor forventning skulle vi skrive historie.
Åra gikk og vi holdt fortsatt sammen,
Selv om voksenlivet snart stod der på trammen.
Tidvis hardt og litt brutalt, helt annerledes,
Enn det vi var blitt fortalt,
Trodde tiden ville fredes.
Åh, vi fant hverandre.
Åh, sammen skulle vi forandre.
Jeg fikk gitt deg en klem,
Jeg vet det blir lenge til vi sees igjen.
Ønsker deg lykke til,
Løper avgårde med et smil.
Et smil som skjuler klumpen.
Et smil, et smil som skjuler redselen.
Det var så godt å vite at vi var der.
Vi var venner som turte å være helt nær.
Jeg vet jo at vi enda fortsatt er det.
Selv om avstanden er lang og vi bor på hvert vårt sted.
