Koppången lyrics in English
=========================================
There is stillness and silence, as the ground is colored white
From the safe, old church the song is flowing out
I have paused at the road to rest for a while
And was caught by the borderland that unites night and day

And a ray of light behind the arched window frame
Has united those spirits that are here in time with us
And I know that those who have left us have understood that we are
Like flickering flames as long as we are here

And there among twinkling stars that fade one by one
Life comes really close, like a glimpse of truth
We are prisoners in time, like a palm print
On a frosty old window given mercy by the passing of time

For a second I am eternal and then I know nothing more
Only this, that I live as fully as any other
I am here and in the middle of a frozen road there is still warmth
Even as the snow starts falling and the sky turns gray

There is stillness and silence as the hymn fades out
But I carry the old words in my heart just as before
And I sing to the heavens, maybe someone else listens
"Hosanna in the highest," then I start to walk

And I go to the others, I want to feel Christmas peace
I want to believe that He was born and exists with us in time
It is Christmas and there is a child in me that wants to think that it happened,
And that lights a candle every Advent Sunday

Thank you Sissel for being who you are. In a sick & troubled world you're a shining light. We try day by day to make things better. We try to cheer people up in the space in which we live. Really it's all we can do. Your venue is vast as it should be; most of us trudge along trying to push back the boundaries of darkness. And we do see flashes of light. A Native Indian lady with her little child standing ahead of me in the line at McDonalds must have seen the spirit tree on my necklace & told me to go ahead of her in the line. I was humbled but comforted at the same time. It was the connection you see. A man, again a Native man, was sitting on the sidewalk looking glum. I said hello & asked if I could share a $5 dollar bill with him. He stood up & said, "Yes, we should share." I could tell you stories all night. I stopped & touched an old library building. Just a connection. It was donated by Andrew Carnegie in 1904 & Dad, when he was 10 years old, knew Carnegie. My granddad was one of his gardeners at Skibo Castle just north of Inverness. And was thinking of my Uncle Jim who died of wounds inflicted in the Boer War around 1900. New Years Eve seems to bring back memories & impressions. Blessings to you & all of your family. We are blessed to live in northern countries where we can taste freedom & live our lives in peace. Ciao
