Lille Store Verden
Rasmus Seebach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kaos krig og uvenskab
Hvem har du at stole på
Lille store verden
Mærker du mon os
En smule ro ved vintertid
Et øjeblik hvor vi ikke slås
Selv en fjende kan blive en ven
Det er det der er med december
Der får mig til at tro på
At der kan være håb selv for mennesker
Når vi gør alt for dem vi elsker
Engle daler ned for jeg tror
At hvis vi finder fred på vores jord
Så bliver det nok til jul
Så bliver det nok til jul
Lille store verden
Sig mig gør det ondt?
De bygger, borer og banker løs
Kan du stadig dreje rundt
Lille store verden, verden
Får du mon lidt fred
For folk slipper våbene
Også er der pludseligt sang i gaden
Selv en fjende kan blive en ven
I denne tid hvor man ser verden som et barn igen
Det er det der er med december
Der får mig til at tro på
At der kan være håb selv for mennesker
Når vi gør alt for dem vi elsker
Engle daler ned, for jeg tror
At hvis vi finder fred på vores jord
Så bliver det nok til jul
Jeg ved jo godt
At det er en ønskedrøm
At det ikke sker henover land
Med en tryllestav, men alligevel
Jeg tror stadig lidt, bare lidt på magi
Det er det der er med december
Der for mig til at tro på
At der kan være håb selv for mennesker
Når vi gør alt for dem vi elsker
Engle daler ned, for jeg tror
At hvis vi finder fred på vores jord
Så bliver det nok til jul
Så bliver nok
Så bliver det nok
Så bliver det nok til jul
Så bliver det nok til jul
Så bliver nok til jul
Så bliver det nok til juleaften
Så bliver det nok julaften
Engle daler ned
Og jeg tror, at hvis vi
Finder fred på vores jord
Så bliver det nok til jul
Lille store verden
Herfra hvor jeg står
Tror jeg kun, at det er kærlighed
Du ønsker dig til næste år
