The World Is Saved

Stina Nordenstam


I blinked again and
I wasn't dead
I was a favorite
Child in it's bed 

You had to look
In praise and alarm
Yet I hold nothing
In my arms but my arms 

Pouring through me
The world is saved
The world is saved 

Take it from me
The world is saved
The world is saved 

I clashed with silence
I stumbled and fell
I blinked again, sure
This wasn't hell

You had to look
In awe and surprise
Yet I'd found nothing
To life but my life 

Pouring through me
The world is saved
The world is saved 

Take it from me
The world is saved
The world is saved
