Settlers
If you wanna be free of emperors and kings!
Leave the kings and emperors behind you
Don't let'em tie you down and clip your wings
Don't let'em shackle and bind you
Ulrika
I was four when the parish
Auctioned me away
Settlers
Shame on those
Who sold you and who used you
Ulrika
They were like wolves and I was easy prey
Settlers
Shame on the men who abused you
Danjel
I was giving Communion
I was not ordained
Settlers
So they jailed you in the name of Jesus
Danjel
Here I can preach the Gospel unconstrained
Settlers
Here he can preach what he pleases!
Never again will we lower our eyes
Fearing the powers that be
Swallowing sermons from men we despise
Men who command by decree
It's a funny old new world! - All is upside down!
He who was a pauper can be king here
Given a voice a man stand his ground
He who was silent can sing here
Fina-Kajsa
Cry for Anders, my son
For he was all I had
Settlers
Dragged a grindstone to her son from Sweden
Fina-Kajsa
But when I found him, drink had made him mad
Settlers
Lost in this Garden of Eden!
Karl Oskar
There is just one regret,
One thing I've come to know
Settlers
Here we are and here we'll stay forever?
Karl Oskar
We should have come here many years ago
Settlers
Later is better than never!
Never again will we lower our eyes
Fearing the powers that be
Swallowing sermons from men we despise
Men who command by decree
If you wanna be free of emperors and kings!
Leave the kings and emperors behind you
Don't let'em tie you down and clip your wings
Don't let'em shackle and bind you
Karl Oskar
Dearest Kristina, please tell me what's wrong?
Kristina
Pay no attention to me
Danjel
Maybe it's time for us all to go home
It's been a very long day
Kristina
What a fool I must seem
Forgive me, everyone
Please ignore
A silly woman weeping
Karl Oskar
I'm gonna build
A bigger house next year
A house that'll be worth the keeping
