(T: Erik Hillestad, M: Sigvart Dagsland)
She saw him move
She saw him move as he approached land
He stood at the helm
alone on board
when the sun went down
She heard a song
a mighty chorus high in the blue
The others laughed
when she shouted loudly
that the sky was near
Wetless dreams were on fire
She was a child, a hungry animal
Now she will be brought home for good
Children of God
Children of God
Days and nights of longing
prayers and robbery without name
despised and forgotten on earth
most beautiful flower that no one saw
She got on board
She got on board when a hand was reached down
and the wind rose
from a breeze to a storm while something was cold
She froze to ice
then waves drifted heavily over the deck
The captain slept
but she shouted loudly
and he asked for help
He made stars out of every cloud
the lake became silent and crumbled again
He asked why he was afraid:
- I am on board and you are
Children of God...
