lyrics

Reading Tove Janssen “The Summer Book”
And imagining a constrasting life
Half of the year spent in darkness
Half of the year spent In light

And how would you find
The way to exist –
In small towns ice bound
Half the year?

And what kind of purpose
Must you insist
To enable life
To go on from here.

The history of Finland
Gives me reason to believe
That dreams can emerge
From the snow and the trees

No wonder it seemed a country that could
Be taken apart, but left as it stood
How every young nation looks to its roots
And waits endlessly for the tree to bear fruits….

So as the gulf of Finland
Freezes with ice
We huddle up warm
And look to the sky

The ice breakers will come
And the dark nights will end
I am your lover
I am your friend

The history of Finland
Gives me reason to believe
That dreams can emerge
From the snow and the trees
