This song is about a little girl in the slums of Bangkok. I have visited her two times. I will never forget the expression in her eyes, nor her hand which wouldn't let go of mine.
Sissel
Du som samler håp og trøst
På et gulv av jord
Fyller åtte år i høst
Slummen er din mor
Øyne som to himmelslott
Speiler en ruin
Livet holder løst i deg
Din hånd så fast rundt min
Du må sone andres skyld
Vi har glemt vårt svik
Våres slør av blå idyll
Kveler alle skrik
Øyne som to himmelslott...
Så tag meg med til Bankoks slum
Og la meg se hvordan du ble så stum
Ingen, ingen av oss alle trenger inn bak skallet
Hører dine rop
Ingen, ingen kan bli med deg
Ingen ska få se deg gråte
Du som samler håp og trøst
På et gulv av jord
Fyller åtte år i høst
Slummen er din mor
