Friends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alla bär vi på en känsla
Och den växer dag för dag
Något är på väg att hända

Det vet både du och jag
När vi står här mitt i livet
Med en dröm som är så stor
Känn att allting är dig givet

Allt vi fått av moder jord

För vi har himmelen och havet
Som når var strand
Vi har nattens alla stjärnor
Vi har varann
Så låt oss tro på allt det goda
En utsträckt hand
Mot en syster och en bror
Över hela denna jord
Och låt kärleken nå fram

För när jag tänker på imorgon
Tror jag drömmen kan slå in
Om en jord i fred och frihet
Som är både din och min
Till den värld som finns framför oss
Går en väg från varje land
Om vårt val som finns framför oss
Går vi alla hand i hand

För vi har himmelen och havet
Som når var strand
Vi har nattens alla stjärnor
Vi har varann
Så låt oss tro på allt det goda
En utsträckt hand
Mot en syster och en bror
Över hela denna jord
Och låt kärleken nå fram

Så låt oss tro på allt det goda
En utsträckt hand
Mot en syster och en bror

Över hela denna jord
Och låt kärleken nå fram
