Det kom till mig i drömmen, en nyfödd tanke, ett litet hopp och jag ska berätta, berätta den för dig

It came to me in a dream, a newborn thought, a little hope, and I will tell, tell it to you

Jag såg mig själv från andra sidan rummet,

I saw myself from the other side of the room,

en skälvande gestalt i blekt och stilla ljus.

a trembling figure in pale and still light.

En skugga av den jag en gång hade varit,

A shadow of who I once had been,

ett hjärta som gått vilse som vandrat långt hemifrån

a heart that had gone astray, that had wandered far from home

Jag såg en fågel som har tappat sina vingar, en sorgsen liten kropp på marken, stora svarta ögon som förlorat allt hopp.

I saw a bird that had lost its wings, a sad little body on the ground, big black eyes that had lost all hope.

Och svaren fanns inte längre kvar orden hade tystnat och meningarna brytits av

And the answers were no longer there, the words had fallen silent and the sentences broken off

Jag undrade om något fanns att rädda,

I wondered if anything could be saved,

av allt det där som en gång var jag.

of all that which once was me.

Förrefräng

Pre-chorus

Men ljuset föll så mjukt omkring mig,

But the light fell so softly around me,

och en röst växte fram från någonstans.

and a voice emerged from somewhere.

Refräng

Chorus

Du är mer än dina skuggor,

You are more than your shadows,

mer än alla år som gått.

more than all the years that have passed.

Mer än alla stängda dörrar,

More than all closed doors,

mer än allt du aldrig fått.

more than everything you never received.

Det finns en kraft i det som brister,

There is a strength in what breaks,

Banar väg där ingen väg synts förut.

Paving the way where no path was seen before.

Och varje natt bär på ett löfte:

And every night carries a promise:

Efter skymning gryr en dag till slut.

After dusk, a new day finally dawns.

Vers 2

Verse 2

Jag har burit mina tysta stormar,

I have carried my silent storms,

och gömt en längtan djupt inom

and hidden a longing deep within

Jag har gått där vägen varit stenig,

I have walked where the road was stony,

och undrat vem jag kommer bli och vart jag är på väg.

and wondered who I will become and where I am going.

Men kanske finns det frön i våra sorger,

But perhaps there are seeds in our sorrows,

Som tårar vårdar ömt, som bara där i sorgens famn äntligen kan gro.

That tears tenderly nurture, that only there in sorrow's embrace can finally sprout.

Och kanske är det först när allt sen blir stilla,

And perhaps it is only when everything then becomes still,

som vi hör vår egen sanning tala klart.

that we hear our own truth speak clearly.

Förrefräng

Pre-chorus

För drömmens ljus föll så mjukt omkring mig,

For the dream's light fell so softly around me,

Och värmde upp ett jag som kunde bli

And warmed up a self that could be

Refräng

Chorus

För jag är mer än mina skuggor,

For I am more than my shadows,

mer än alla år som gått.

more than all the years that have passed.

Mer än alla stängda dörrar,

More than all closed doors,

mer än allt jag inte fått.

more than everything I haven't received.

Det finns en kraft i det som brister,

There is a strength in what breaks,

Banar väg där ingen väg synts förut.

Paving the way where no path was seen before.

Och varje natt bär på ett löfte:

And every night carries a promise:

Där skymningen slutar, gryr en dag till slut.

Where dusk ends, a new day finally dawns.

Och jag såg mig själv i ljuset,

And I saw myself in the light,

inte som jag varit, utan den jag är.

not as I had been, but who I am.

Med alla mina sår och drömmar,

With all my wounds and dreams,

Men med en framtid fortfarande här.

But with a future still here.

Jag behöver inte laga trasigheten

I don't need to fix what's broken

jag behöver inte veta vart jag ska.

I don't need to know where I'm going.

Jag kan låta ljuset sakta stiga in

I can let the light slowly come in

och låta morgondagen bli min dag.

and let tomorrow be my day.

För jag är mer än mina skuggor,

For I am more than my shadows,

jag är allt jag ännu kan bli.

I am all I can still be.

Alla drömmar som har väntat,

All the dreams that have waited,

alla vägar framför mig.

all the roads ahead of me.

Och även om min väg är krokig,

And even if my path is winding,

ska jag aldrig släcka mitt ljus.

I will never extinguish my light.

För där skymningen slutar,

For where dusk ends,

där börjar livet om på nytt.

life begins anew.

Där skymningen slutar,

Where dusk ends,

gryr alltid en dag.

a day always dawns.

Och jag såg i drömmen

And I saw in the dream

ett ljus…

a light…

ett jag.

a self.
