En stund på jorden [English translation]

I saw how we were stars

that landed in the sea

When we took the first steps

away from the ocean

It hit me that time

As we waded forth towards the water

I lay down on the ground

and thanked the heaven

that we got to step on land

that we got to feel the sand

now we can say

that we have been on earth

yes, I was there

how wonderful it was

how wonderful it wasn't

I was close, I was close,

I was close, I was there

a moment on earth

a moment on earth

I was close, I was close,

I was close, I was there

a moment on earth, a moment on earth

I won the mountains

I parted the sea

I was the strongest of us

but still the weakest

I got to hold your hand

when you got to abandon your dreams

and to reconcile later in time

I got to see you thank life

despite everything

now we can say

that we have been on earth

to say, I was there
