Text z alba The Album (1977)
(B. Andersson / S. Anderson / B. Ulvaeus)
They say a restless body
can hide a peaceful soul
A voyager and a settler
they both have a distant goal
If I explore the heavens
or if I search inside
well – it really doesn’t matter
as long as I can tell myself
I’ve always tried
Like a roller in the ocean
life is motion
move on
Like a wind that’s always blowing
life is flowing
move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
life is dawning
move on
How I treasure every minute
being part of it
being in it
with the urge to move on
I’ve travelled every country
I’ve travelled in my mind
It seems we’re on a journey -
a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
to all the questions why -
what really makes the difference
between all dead
and living things -
the will to stay alive
Like a roller in the ocean…
The morning breeze that ripples
the surface of the sea
the crying of the seagulls
that hover over me -
I see it and I hear it
but how can I explain
the wonder of the moment -
to be alive
to feel the sun
that follows every rain
Like a roller in the ocean…
