Sweden: Roger Pontare - When spirits are calling m
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2000 [2000]
I'm finally facin' the fear
The sky is on fire, and up with the flames
My hope and my dreams disappear
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
Show me the way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my heart
Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name
My name...
Let me out of the darkness, the shadow of pain
And I'm keepin' my promise to you
My people, my spirit, the home of my heart
You're with me wherever I go
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
I've got a way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my heart
Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name
My name...
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
I've got a way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son with freedom in my home
Life will never be the same when spirits are calling my name
Spirits are calling my name
