Be Like Him歌詞

Be Like Him - Torun Eriksen
Over the midnight lights of Moscow
So high the city shines like stars
Ten times the size of my sweet Oslo
Hosting nearly six hundred thousand hearts
Now I am flying east
Farther than I've ever been
And next to me off duty is a pilot half asleep
He's seen so many places I have never seen
I wanna be like him
I wanna see the world I wanna take life as it comes
I wanna be like him
Visit people I don't know
But can get to know and then invite them back to where I'm from
I saw beauty new and different
But I met warmth that made me feel like home
Though miles and miles away from Oslo
Hearts filled with life find ways to speak I should have known
Now I am flying north
Been farther than I ever went
The pilot's not beside me but he smiled and waved goodbye
He knew after I'd seen all this I'd learned to fly
I wanna be like him
I wanna see the world I wanna take life as it comes
I wanna be like him
Visit people I don't know
But can get to know and then invite them home
Up there I was waiting for the morning sun to tuck me in
Praying for a sake return while cutting through the wind
My favorite pilot says he loves the take off part
Now that's the part I dread the most
But I should try his way of thinking
As it might just be the start
Something that would deeply change my northern heart
I wanna be like him
I wanna see the world
I wanna take life as it comes
I wanna be like him
Visit people I don't know
But can get to know and then invite them home
Yeah I wanna be like him
I wanna see the world
I wanna take life as it comes
I wanna be like him
Visit people I don't know
But can get to know and then invite them back to where I'm from
