Lyrics:

Här finns allt och lite till
om du bara vågar
Se

Här finns ljuset om du vill
om du bara vågar
Mer

När tårarna tar vid
och du skriker nej och nej

Här finns ljuset om du vill
Andas in och andas ut
Låt allting explodera
Och spränga sanningen i dig

Andas in och andas ut
Låt tankarna försvinna
Ja låt skiten brinna
ohohoooohooo
ohooohoooooohooo
Ja låt skiten brinna

Låt det onda göra ont
Låt det värka ännu mera
Nu

Låt din svaghet rinna ut
så din styrka kan få leva
nu

När tårarna tar slut
och ljuset väller in

Här finns ljuset om du vill
Andas in och andas ut
Låt allting explodera
Och spränga sanningen i dig

Andas in och andas ut
Låt tankarna försvinna
Ja låt skiten brinna
ohohoooohooo
ohooohoooooohooo
Ja låt skiten brinna

Tiden läker inte alla sår
Och här kommer vi igen
Med våra brustna hjärtan

En sorglöshet som sänker sig
Och gömmer sig i mig
Och jag gömmer mig i dig

Här finns ljuset om du vill
Andas in och andas ut
Låt allting explodera
Och spränga sanningen i dig

Andas in och andas ut
Låt tankarna försvinna
Ja låt skiten brinna
ohohoooohooo
ohooohoooooohooo
Ja låt skiten brinna

We are we are
Just who we are

We have a chance
To take it far
Don’t forget how to be it

Oh we gotta be strong
And we need to be brave
There will never be none like us

Gotta be who we are
Every choice that we make
Always being victorious

Cause there will be none like us
Forever victorious
Victorious

When it gets hard just lean on my shoulder
I count the days I’m here we grow older
Hey

We are we are
Just who we are
We have a chance
To take it far

Oh we gotta be strong
And we need to be brave
There will never be none like us

Gotta be who we are
Every choice that we make
Always being victorious

Cause there will be none like us
Forever victorious
Victorious

Come together
Together we will
Grow much stronger

And stronger we will
Stay together
Forever victorious

Oh we gotta be strong
And we need to be brave
Oh we gotta be strong
Forever victorious

Oh we gotta be strong
And we need to be brave
There will never be none like us

Gotta be who we are
Every choice that we make
Always being victorious

Cause there will be none like us
Forever victorious
Victorious

Vad gör vi det för

Duuuuuuuu är inte bra för mig
Bra för mig baby

Men jaaaaaaag kan inte säga nej

Om om och om igen
gör nått dumt som vi ångrar sen
ramlar runt sen tillbaks igen
gör det om om och om igen
om igen
om igen om igen

No te mereces mi amor
Pero yo a ti te lo doy
Con mucho dolor

Tenemos nuestra conexión
Pero tú matas el amor
Y mi Corazon ye

Duuuuuuu är inte bra för mig
bra för mig baby
Men jaaaaaaag kan inte säga nej
säga nej

Om om och om igen
gör nått dumt som vi ångrar sen
ramlar runt sen tillbaks igen
gör det om om och om igen
Om igen
Om igen om igen

O-o-o-otra vez
Lo haces tú mal tú me pones
Yo estoy aquí muriendo me
Om om om om om igen

Om om och om igen
gör nått dumt som vi ångrar sen
ramlar runt sen tillbaks igen
om om om om om igen

Om om och om igen
gör nått dumt som vi ångrar sen
ramlar runt sen tillbaks igen
gör det om om och om igen
Om igen

Dagen kommer som ger mig tröst
dagen när jag åter hör din röst

Huhuuåa hey å
Huhuuåa lööö å
Huhuuåa hey å

Som ett norrsken på himlen

Som ett norrsken på himlen
som en ton ifrån änglarna

Finns du med mig i vinden
som ett norrsken på himlen

Sakta vilar mitt hjärtas slag
långsamt dröjer mitt andetag

Tonen växer och ger mig tröst
tonen som kommer ifrån din röst

Huhuuåa ley å
Huhuuåa lööö å
Huhuuåa ley å
Som ett norrsken på himlen

Hååååöööö wha wha wha
Hååååöööö ååå
Hååååöööö wha wha wha
Hååååöööö ååå

Huhuuåa ley å
Huhuuåa lööö å

Som ett norrsken på himlen

Som ett norrsken på himlen
som en ton ifrån änglarna

Finns du med mig i vinden
som ett norrsken på himlen

Huhuuåa ley åååååå

Som ett norrsken på himmelen
Som ett norrsken på himmelen
