Song Lyrics by Aurora Aksnes

[Tom Hoornstra]

All that I know
Lies within emotion,
Words remain unspoken.
Lead me through the dark.
All that I see
Came to me in colors,
Lasted for a moment.
Lead me through the dark;
All that I know.

We go way back in time, time.
Through diamond eyes
We go running
Way back in time,
Through diamond eyes.
We gotta go back to the start
Back 'til we are back home.

Would you be kind and put away the sword,
You cannot cut away what we got,
You cannot kill what we are;
We are not here in physical form.

Hold your hands up
To your chest and tell me what you find.
Out of you a sparrow comes
And sees without its eyes.

Did you know
That we're all
Turning softer inside
We can save
What is pure
If the hearts can collide
All that I've ever known
Is the universe is wild
Is the universe is wild.

The world is covered by our trace,
Scars we cover up with paint.
Watch them preaching sour lies.
I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child,
Through the eyes of a child

Darker times will come and go,
Times you need to see her smile,
And mothers' hands are warm and mild.
I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child,
Through the skin of a child.

Just like the seed
I don't know where to go
Through dirt and shadow I grow
I'm reaching light through the struggle.
Just like the seed
I'm chasing the wonder
I unravel myself
All in slow motion.

Suffocate me
So my tears can be rain
I will water the ground where I stand
So the flowers can grow back again.
'Cause just like the seed
Everything wants to live...

Feed me sunlight, feed me air
Feed me truth and feed me prayer...

Yep, her lyrics are amazing work. And she looks unearthly, if that is her natural look, then cool!

I'd like to add something about who she is, for those who don't know.  Aurora Aksnes is a young Norwegian singer-songwriter who grew up on a fjord, amid nature.  Many of her fans consider her an incarnate elemental, elf or fairy, or possibly an angel.  In any case, she is not of this world.  I post a few of her lyrics, and an album of photos of her and her country, in hopes that others will come to appeciate her as well.  She truly belongs here in Elvenworld.
