\n<\/strong>
\nKristina <\/strong>
\nMy God, dear Robert – how you’re bleeding
\nYour face all raw and running red
\nCome here and let me take a look at you
\nCome rest your head<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nHe struck me down without a reason
\nThat’s been his way right from the start
\nMy master has no pity for the weak
\nHe has no heart
\n
\nKarl Oskar <\/strong>
\nI’ll make him curse the times
\nHe raised his arm against you
\nFor every stroke he gave you
\nI will land him ten!
\nTo strike a boy of fifteen
\nShame the name of Nilsson!
\nBy Christ, you’ll never have to
\nwork for him again<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nNo more I’ll bend before a master
\nNor spend my life in fear of tyrants
\nThis is a solemn oath I swear
\nAnd there’s no turning back
\nYou must help me now, Karl Oskar
\n
\nKarl Oskar <\/strong>
\nTell me, what is it you want me to do?
\n
\nRobert<\/strong>
\nI want my share of the inheritance.
\nI’m going to America.
\nYou think I’m lying like you always do, dear brother.<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar<\/strong>
\nI thought I knew you, boy, but little did I know!
\nFor once it seems we’re in agreement with each other
\nYes, that’s exactly where I plan for us to go!
\n
\nKristina<\/strong>
\nNo!<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar <\/strong>
\nIn America I tell you
\nNo one’s ever hungry
\nChildren never thin<\/p>\n

America
\nThey sell you
\nLand for half a dollar
\nPay it and you’re in!<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nIn America there’s fortune
\nStreets are paved with gold there
\nIn America is treasure
\nMore than you can hold there
\n
\nKarl Oskar & Robert <\/strong>
\nNow tell me that you want to go<\/p>\n

Kristina<\/strong>
\nWolves eat the children
\nSnakes bite the plowmen
\nSavage Indians roaming through the forests
\nFrom these parts there is
\nnobody talks of leaving
\n
\nKarl Oskar & Robert<\/strong>
\nSomeone has to take the lead
\nIn every new endeavour
\nNothing is impossible
\nFor men who share a vision
\nWho’d have thought the two of us
\nWould be in this together
\nMaking independently
\nthe very same decision<\/p>\n

Kristina<\/strong>
\nIt’s not to the neighbouring parish
\nor some other part of this country
\nnot even a place on this continent you want to go
\nNo, you have to move to a new world
\nIt could be the moon,
\nIt’s as crazy as that, it’s a pipedream,
\nas any sane person would know
\n
\nKarl Oskar<\/strong>
\nI’ve made my decision
\nI know what I’m doing<\/p>\n

Kristina <\/strong>
\nDecide all you want to
\nI’m saying no<\/p>\n

Robert<\/strong>
\nIn America I tell you
\nNo one’s ever hungry
\nChildren never thin<\/p>\n

America<\/strong>
\nthey sell you
\nLand for half a dollar
\nPay it and you’re in<\/p>\n

Karl Oskar<\/strong>
\nIn America there’s fortune
\nStreets are paved with gold there
\nIn America is treasure
\nMore than you can hold there
\n
\nKarl Oskar & Robert <\/strong>
\nNow tell us, yes you want to go
\nCome on, confess you want to go
\n
\nKristina <\/strong>
\nHeavens, how little you both know!
\nYou’ve got my answer and it’s no!<\/p>\n

PRAYER <\/strong><\/p>\n

Kristina <\/strong>
\nDear God\u2026
\nAll the ships that have gone down
\nAll the bodies lying down there in the deep
\nEaten by the whales, and the ocean monsters
\nSave us from these, Almighty Saviour Jesus
\nAmen<\/p>\n

I must ask uncle Danjel’s advice\u2026
