Och ingen dдare som fцrstеare
Nдare man har tappat allt
Man nеgonsin trodde pе, mm
Dе kan det цppnas upp en dцrr
Som du inte sеg dдare fцrr
Och solen lyser еter vдgen dдare du gеare
Precis som...
Skratt genom tеrar
Och sol genom regn
Som ett hopp som vдxer
Dдare pе ovisshetens дng
Som ljus nдare det vеras
En bro цver hav
(En bro цver hav)
Nдare lyckan vдnder sen
Den gett sig av, еhеhh
Varje saga har ett s***
Mm, som det varit fцrut
Еh, sе finner alltid den
Som sцker vдgen ut, mm hm
Men det дare inte alltid sе lдtt
Att finna alla de sдtt
Och alla vдgar som kan leda rдtt
Еhеhh
Skratt genom tеrar
Och sol genom regn, еh
Som ett hopp som vдxer
Dдare pе ovisshetens дng
Som ljus nдare det vеras
En bro цver hav
(En bro цver hav)
Nдare lyckan vдnder sen
Den gett sig av, ееhh
Sе kom och bцrja om igen...
Еhеh
Skratt genom tеrar
Och sol genom regn
Еh, som ett hopp som vдxer
Dдare pе ovisshetens дng, еhh

Еh, som ett hopp som vдxer
Dдare pе ovisshetens дng, еhh
Som ljus nдare det vеras, mm
En bro цver hav
(En bro цver hav)
Nдare lyckan vдnder sen
Den gett sig av, еhеhh
The lyrics to Sonja Aldén's song "Skratt genom tårar" describe a feeling of hope and renewal experienced after a period of loss and uncertainty. The first verse compares the feeling to wandering aimlessly, lost and alone, until a door opens to reveal a new path. The chorus speaks of finding laughter in tears and sunshine in the rain, growing hope where uncertainty once ruled. The bridge of the song acknowledges that every story has its low points and setbacks, but those who are determined to find a way through will always find it.
The overall message of the song is that even when things seem impossibly difficult, there is always a way forward. It encourages listeners to keep moving forward, even when facing difficult and uncertain times, and to find hope and joy in the unexpected places in life.
Some possible interpretations of the song could be that it speaks to the power of perseverance even when life is hard, or that it reminds us to look for the silver lining in any situation. The imagery used throughout the song - such as the opening of a door or the light breaking through the darkness - underscores the theme of hope and renewal.
