Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Genom hav av stjärnors ljus
Och vandra i vita nätter
Tills jag funnit min Faders hus
Jag skall klappa sakta på porten
Där ingen mer går ut
Och jag skall sjunga av glädje
Som aldrig jag sjöng förut
Jag skall gå genom tysta skyar
Genom hav av stjärnors ljus
Och vandra i vita nätter
Tills jag funnit min Faders hus
Jag skall klappa sakta på porten
Där ingen mer går ut
Och jag skall sjunga av glädje
Som aldrig jag sjöng förut
Jag skall klappa sakta på porten
Där ingen mer går ut
Och jag skall sjunga av glädje
Som aldrig jag sjöng förut
