Eastereggs
Have your found the hidden eastereggs in the e-book? Here are the lyrics to the songs.
God bless that open chord
Gabriella Hansson
God bless that open chord
That happy violin
In times of distress
May she never give in
God bless that light-blue sky
And the tree that whistles in the wind
In times of distress
May she never give in
Let her see the colours in herself and all around
Let her hear the birds from far away and all other lovely sounds
Let her know that your just nearby
I know you’re good
Gabriella Hansson (written for the book Own your emotions by Frida Kristina Nilsson)
Come into the world
Feel free, sit yourself down
If adrenaline’s pumping, you’re too worried to speak
you’re still welcome
We are all skilful actors here
We can seem like we’re are always secure
Fooled myself many times, I have argued or smiled
but beneath I’m prepared to run out the door
And when you say it’s hard
I’ll say it’s hard
‘cuz I know that is true
and I know what kind of liars
That are trying to win over you
Lower your shield
take off the armor
No one is fighting you here
The war is inside of you
And I see your enemies are hard on you
They seem invincible
but, I am on your side
and I know you’re good
Come into the room
Feel free, stand or walk around
If adrenaline’s pumping, you’re too angry to speak
you’re still welcome
We’re all beaten heroes here
That is, people like you, and
We are lost and we’re found, we have wars of our own
And we help ourselves and each other to stand
And when you you say you can’t
We’ll say you can
‘cuz we know that is true
and we know what kind of liars
that trying to win over you
Lower your shield
take off the armor
No one is fighting you here
This is your own ground
The well of the self-hatred is pulling you
It seems invincible
But we’re all on your side
and we know you’re good
Lower your shield
take off the armor
No one is fighting you here
This is your home ground
The well of the self-hatred is pulling you
It seems invincible
But we’re all on your side
and we know you’re good
But we’re all on your side
and we know you’re good
You are good!
But we’re all on your side here
and we know you’re good
/ Come into the world / Come out of your cell /This world is your home / Take up your space / Fill out your shoes / See the colours
Don't shoot me in my head
Gabriella Hansson
She was standing in a line of people
One by one of them fell down
She was wet all over her body
but for once she didn't mind
what she looked like
She lived in a civilized society
She'd been very sure of this 'til now
She had never doubted God is mighty
like she'd never doubted birds can fly
And she wanted to fly like them
but now she stood perfectly still
and now she was totally quiet
though desperately she wanted to say
Don't shoot me in my head
'cos my brain is too beautiful
Don't shoot me in my heart
'cos it's beating for somebody
Don't shoot me in my arms
'cos I use them for embracing
Don't shoot me in my legs
'cos I want to stand for what is true and right
Lay down your gun and see there is but one race of humanity
The race of you and me
Don't shoot me
He was walking from a pile of people
He was pleased, another job was done
Going back home to his family
But he stopped and turned around
He is a man of truth and honor
He's been very sure of this 'til now
He is looking at his pile of people
And he only wants to cry
The girl who wanted to fly lies there
She no longer wants anything
From now on she'll always be quiet
Bu he hears her voice in his head
Don't shoot me in my head...
I will not let this be prestige no more
Gabriella Hansson
I will not let this be prestige no more
I’m gonna do it just for fun
I’m so much more than what I’m striving for
and the races that I run
I’ve measured character in working hours
My perseverance gave me stars
I didn’t know then that my rightful flowers
stood withered in my heart
I have confused the roads and where they go
For everything here looks the same
God, who can open all the locks unknown
Throw the door up and shout my name
Remind me I’m sufficient
and more, I am amazing
remarkable and shining
and what is more: I’m living
The foldable bridge
Gabriella Hansson (chorus first written in Swedish by Peter Haack to his teenage daughter)
I've seen your eye-lids close
Some thousand times, I s'pose
and how you move in starlit sleep
your fingers and your toes
The sea proved to be deeper than I knew
The sky put on a finer sort of blue
when coming out in water and blood
the spark of life personified in you
To be, to break, to heal
You learn from what you feel
To part is part of the deal
That's a shame, that's a shame
So I give you this foldable bridge
would you burn all the bridges behind you
You were still gonna know how to get back home to me
Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh
whatever devils might try to bind you
Oh, let someone be around to remind you:
You were born to be free!
You had no thoughts to hide
Your eyes were once so wide
Now you won't lift them from the ground
So how to reach your mind?
I can't help I keep lingering on that night
when everything refused to turn out right
My words were harsh, your answers cruel
We didn't reach each other, did we try?
To rest, to run, to whom
We learn from what we do
I won't come after you
If you go, if you go
But I give you this foldable bridge…
At the bottom of my longing
Gabriella Hansson
At the bottom of my longing I am small
At the bottom of your longing you are small
But we never choose to meet down here below
In the caverns with our bare knees on the stone
We meet up somewhere else
Somewhere we both look strong and fine
Somewhere we do not even stumble
How come it’s like that every time
But for this once I dare you
to leave your party mask at the door
Money-wise it won't cost more
though your life is on the line
