Molly Nilsson - Europa lyrics

The borders are only lines in the sand
The borders are divided by land
And invented by men
The birds all fly high in the sky
But the birds have never heard about Europe
About you, about Europe about Europe
About you, about Europe

The girls with bright eyes ride
Away on dreams of lies into Europe
The sun has always been setting in the west
So the sun must know where
The setting is the best
What mother’s nightmares can’t bear
A cruel world does on it's own
She said she’d call once she’s there
Must be something wrong with the phone?
The phones all over Europe in EU, in Europe
In Europe, EU, in Europe

Is the future any brighter?
Is the darkness any lighter in Europe?
Is the future any brighter?
Is the darkness any lighter in Europe?

I met Joy in London, she used to love to sing
But now she’s not singing about anything
You gotta work to make your way
You better work, if you wanna stay
So now she’s working for you
Now she’s working for you, for Europe

No matter how many times that
Story has been told
How history repeats it'self and some
Stories never grow old
(And they call her Europe)

Is the future any brighter?
Is the darkness any lighter in Europe?
Is the future any brighter?
Is the darkness any lighter in Europe?
