lyrics
KNACKAR PÅ HIMLENS DÖRR
Lyft bort tyngden från mitt bröst
Men låt hoppet stanna kvar
Mörkret sänker sej, ge mej tröst
Vid himlens dörr står jag klar
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Lägg ner vapnen här bredvid
Jag sluter fred idag
Ett stort svart moln sänker sej ned
Vid himlens dörr står jag klar
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Knack, knack, knackar på himlens dörr
Back-translation
KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR
Take this weight off my chest
But let hope stay
Darkness is comin’ down, give me comfort
I stand ready at heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Put the guns down here beside me
I make peace today
A big black cloud is comin’ down
I stand ready at heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
