I see the lights being lit in the park by Kungholmen’s harbor
I see boys crying and girls holding their hands
I see the man on the balcony take a quiet minute for himself
What happened last night can never be undone
Are you one of those who was there when it happened
Or do you miss someone you once thought you knew
Are you one of those who cries when no one is watching
Are you one of those who are still affected
I see myself in the mirror with eyes red from crying
I think about how it happened, how they behaved
My little brother goes out and we never know where he’s going
I get so scared when I think that it could’ve been him or me
Never young again, never free again
When it comes to children, we have the right to take someone’s lot
But you know how it feels when red eyes see black
And I send a thought to you who’s lying awake tonight
Everyone wants to take a moment to reflect
When can we turn the sorrow into courage and start acting
They’re cleaning the street and all the traces will soon be gone
And we’ll continue to grow though he’ll stay sixteen
I see the lights being lit in the park by Kungholmen’s harbor.
I see boys crying and girls holding their hands
I see the man on the balcony take a quiet minute for himself
What happened last night can never be undone
No, what happened last night can never be undone
