A year in a song: A new beginning
A year in a song: A new beginning by Rania Khaled
In less than a year
I arrived to hear
Sounds and songs
of Happy New Year
I remember that day,
Just like today
Filled with happiness and fear
Happy to come to the prettiest land
Afraid of what may come and sad
I left my country and family
My background and identity
Looking for a new beginning
Not sure if it was the right decision
Bedazzled with the Nord light
The snow that covers everything in white
The fresh air and the longest fjord
The city life and the natur
What a mixture of past and future
Side by side in urolig architecture
It is heaven on earth, I believe
No other country is good to live
Yes, I struggled to find my feet
It will never be so simple to compete
Yet I told myself, you should never cry
Good things are always worth a try
Stand and never stop to fight
Cause some day you will tell
To the future generations
The story of a mother
Who never gave up
