Whenever I get an email from Johan Sarauw I light up in expectation! Johan is a master with words and he often sends me impromptu lyrics in the middle of the night. The first time I read this lyric, I instantly got a melody in my head and rushed to the piano to flesh it out.

lyrics

Hvis der er en i verden der kan nå dig så er det mig / Jeg sætter dig fri når du er bange / Jeg er her når du har angst / Jeg vender dig i lommen / Som en sten når du er væk
Hvis der er en i verden der kan få dig så er det mig / Jeg husker dit blik når du er nøgen / Jeg er her når du er dig / Jeg finder dig på gaden / Som en sten når du er væk
Hvis der er en i verden der kan se dig så er det mig / Jeg hører dit kald når du er bundet / Jeg er her når du er svag / Jeg findes i dit hjerte / Som en sten når du er væk
