Koppången
There is stillness and silence, as the ground is coloured white
From the safe, old church the song is flowing out
I have paused at the road to rest for a while
And was caught by the borderland that unites night and day
And a ray of light behind the arched window frame
Has united those spirits that are here in time with us
And I know that those who have left us have understood that we are
Like flickering flames as long as we are here
And there among twinkling stars that fade one by one
Life comes really close, like a glimpse of truth
We are prisoners in time, like a palmprint
On a frosty old window given mercy by the passing of time
For a second I am eternal and then I know nothing more
Only this, that I live as fully as any other
I am here and in the middle of a frozen road there is still warmt
Even as the snow starts falling and the sky turns grey
There is stillness and silence as the hymn fades out
But I carry the old words in my heart just as before
And I sing to the heavens, maybe someone else listens
"Hosianna in the highest," then I start to walk
And I go to the others, I want to feel Cristmas peace
I want to believe that He was born and exists with us in time
It is Christmas and there is a child in me that wants to think that it happened,
And that lights a candle every Advent Sunday
