Her voice sounds tense when she sings english, her voice is more beutiful in the swedish version where she uses the tip of her tongue to sing! :)

Home

Too far away

Somewhere the people trade their needs

Midsummer's day

And tears have all but leaked away

Never returning

Listen, there's music in the trees

Midsummer's day

Yes, you could till the soil your father did

And one day, yes you'll learn to call it home

[orono2004]

Home Far far away Listen there's music in the woods Midsummer's day Home is where they understand me Where people laughed and talk the same Where I feel safe and people let me be Where people know my name Reaching out and touch me And now you're going to a new land Where pleasant prairie creatures roam And you will till the soil beside your father And one day you'll learn to call it home

I do have English lyrics, here they are, enjoy. Home* (Music: Benny Andersson/Lyrics: Björn Ulvaeus/Herbert Kretzmer) One night when we were on the ocean Another ship came sailing by The Swedish colours fluttered from above I wanted so to cry Reaching out and touch her We sailed in opposite directions A cry away across the foam How strange that I was leaving all behind me There was others like me going home

Does anyone have the lyrics?

I was at this performance. It gave me chills.
