<poem>
Det var en gång ett barn ifrån ingenstans
Hon vandrade i natten bland bergen fram.
Hon läste sin väg uti stjärnorna,
En väg som ledde henne hem.

Det barnet var sin egen
Och levde i sin egna värld.
Hon vandrade så lycklig i natten fram,
Fram på sin stig på väg mot ingenstans.

Det var ett särskilt ljus omkring detta barn
Som vandrade ensam i natten fram.

Med ens hon såg en låga i natten,
I nattens ljus där allt var fridfullt och tyst.
Hon vandrade iväg mot detta ljus
Ett ljus som gav henne trygghet.

Och bergen viskade så tyst,
Viskade små ord som bara hon kunde höra.
Hon gav sin värld till dessa berg till dessa berg
Där alla får vara fria.

Och detta barn vandrar nu i ljuset av solen fram
Och hon bär med sig lågan som hon fann i natten....
Djupt inne bland bergen...

En levande tid, en försvinnande tid
En hoppets tid, en hopplös tid
En tillåtande tid, en längtans tid

Vi har fått livstid, inget straff
Utan en möjlighet till liv
Olika liv
Olika tid

Fånga livets tid!
</poem>

==English translation==

<poem>
Once upon a time there was a child from nowhere
She walked forth in the night among the mountains
She read her path in the stars
A way that led her home

That child was no one's
And she lived in her own world
She walked so happily forth in the night
Onwards along her own path on her way to nowhere

A special light shone around this child
Who walked forth alone in the night

Suddenly she saw a flame in the night
In the light of night where all was calm and quiet
She walked forth towards this light
A light that offered her comfort

And the mountains whispered so quietly
Whispering small words that only she could hear
She gave her world to these mountains
To these mountains where everyone may be free

And now this child walks forth in the light of the sun
And she carries the flame that she found in the night...
Deep within the mountains...

A living time, a time getting lost
A time of hope, a hopeless time
An admitting time, a time of longing

We've been given lifetime, no punishment
But a possibility for life
Different lives
Different times

Seize the time of life!
</poem>
