Beneath the surface
Uno Svenningsson
Translation by
LiCat

beneath the surface
there is big and small
beneath the surface
there is laughs and tears
much is happening there
that we don't understand
but we will always find the answers
there in the bottom of ourselfs
beneath the surface

I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know, I know

Laughs and cheers
but it will soon end in chaos
someone kicks and beat
a poor creature
that doesn't stand a chance
I see that no-one seems to care
and neither do I
the fear is to great
to do anything at all

beneath the surface
I'm ashamed of myself
beneath the surface
the image is burning me

I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know
I know that you're there
I know, I know, I know

I think about often
if it had been my own brother
then I too would have turned
into a monster without a word
when I see all the evil
that we humans have let lose
the pointless suffering
then I have a hard time
to understand
that we all have been kids
and helpless sometime
loved without boundaries
loved without constraint

beneath the surface
we all are small
beneath the surface
a good soul can perish
