De Sa Det Lå I Luften - Bjørn Eidsvåg

De sa det lå i luften, han ville komme snart

men Ole var lei av å vente

I snart to tusen år hadde ventetida vart

nå var det vel på tide noe hendte

Så gikk han ut i byen,

han ville være from

han sa han ville møte

sin Frelser når han kom

Den første Ole møtte var en gutt som ba om mat

Han gråt fra et bilde på muren

Men ingen kan vel hjelpe et barn på en plakat

så Ole kunne fortsette turen

Men den han gikk og søkte

og den han ventet på

var en han ikke kjente

men faktisk så

Litt lenger ned i gaten sto strøkets piker klar

og ventet på kveldens bestilling

og Ole kom straks med en hånlig kommentar

om å selge sin kropp for en shilling

Men den han gikk og søkte

og den han ventet på

var en han ikke kjente

men faktisk så

En dranker ba om penger, men Ole gikk forbi

Det skulle jo ligge i luften

Han gikk utenom fylliken, lot ham bare bli

han likte ikke helt den stramme duften

Men den han gikk og søkte

og den han ventet på

var en han ikke kjente

men faktisk så

Til deg som går og sier at Jesus kommer snart

ikke bare vær så opptatt av å vente

Han kommer nok en gang, for det sa han ganske klart

men imens kan du se ham i din neste

They said it was in the air, he would come soon

but Ole was tired of waiting

For almost two thousand years the wait had lasted

now it was probably time something happened

Then he went out into the city,

he would be pious

he said he would meet

his Savior when he came

The first Ole met was a boy who asked for food

He cried from a picture on the wall

But no one can help a child on a poster

so Ole could continue the trip

But the one he went and sought

and the one he was waiting for

was one he did not know

but in fact so

A little further down the street, the girls of the neighborhood stood ready

and waited for tonight's order

and Ole immediately made a scornful comment

about selling his body for a shilling

But the one he went and sought

and the one he was waiting for

was one he did not know

but in fact so

A drinker asked for money, but Ole passed by

It should be in the air

He went around getting drunk, just letting him stay

he did not quite like the tight scent

But the one he went and sought

and the one he was waiting for

was one he did not know

but in fact so

To you who go and say that Jesus is coming soon

Don't just be so anxious to wait

He's coming again, because he said that quite clearly

but meanwhile you can see him in your neighbor
