Calling heaven
I can see how you search among questions and answers,Lonely you, same old lonely me.
It's called life and you know all too well
that what burns inside of us is called a soul.
We hunt and run from where we came,
but always longing to come home.
Somewhere above the clouds there's a city
for those like us, who once were here.
Echoes of happiness,
though the black is still there inside.
Calling heaven, where did you go?
Calling heaven, answer to Earth.
In the eyes there's mirrors, we see each other,
to love someone can make you come true.
We search for happiness and sometimes we get it,
but if we drop the step we step in sand.
It's fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers,
all the hearts who love and hearts who bleed.
I don't want to die, but I can't live
and I carry everything I feel which comes too close.
Somewhere above the clouds there's a city
for those like us, who once were here.
Echoes of happiness,
though the black is still there inside.
Calling heaven, where did you go?
Calling heaven, answer to Earth.
(Spoken:)
If I close my eyes I can see them up there,
the orchestra in the sky.
It's a radiant orchestra.
They sit like us, around a table and raise their glasses.
They say cheers and they call it ''so much better late than even later''.
They laugh and giggle and holler to each other.
Cornelis* is dancing on the table, Esbjörn** is playing the piano,
Lennon*** is talking about the black hole inside of us.
For better days, for better days.
They raise their glasses and cheer once more.
My Josa**** sings in D-major,
changes it to blues and then it's B-minor.
And Freddie Wadling***** agrees.
And Freddie the second, Mercury, he takes the part. It's a sparkling orchestra in the sky.
Tim****** shows Prince newer landscapes in music, chords, forms and sans.
Prince tries and the angels cries because it's so beautiful. His ''Purple Rain'' is for Tim and becomes ''Avicii's Rain''.
There is Olle and Bowie and Cohen and Kristian******* from Borlänge and Ted********, an orchestra in the sky where they all can join.
And Anneliese, our Anneliese tries to make order because the's the queen of Universal.
Judy Garland sings ''Somewhere over the rainbow''. There's Whitney,
Aretha, Ella and Monica Z, even Billie Holiday and Doris Day, Amy Winehouse.
An orchestra in the sky.
There's notes and tears syncopes and poetry, music, music. They see, they know, they hear how we miss them.
They know we're there, and that we remember them.
They hear, they see over the clouds, they look over the edge,
and Tim sees his Stockholm,
and Josan sees how we right now are sitting here, at home, on our island.
Somewhere above the clouds there's a city
for those like us, who once were here.
Echoes of happiness,
though the black is still there inside.
Calling heaven, where did you go?
Calling heaven, answer to Earth.
When we see the stars at night,
if you knew how we miss you.
Here's there, here's Earth. Come.
Can you hear all our longing? Come.
When we see the stars at night,
if you knew how we miss you.
Here's there, here's Earth. Come.
Can you hear all our longing? Come.
Calling heaven.
Say, do you hear the words?
Calling heaven.
You're missing on Earth.
