13 Horses - Alexander Rybak
13 horses swimming in the sea Waiting for someone to find them Their ship is gone And now they are alone With water everywhere around them The men were saved From the sinking ship Right before it started to burn And while they're safe Their loyal friends need help Patiently waiting for their turn 13 horses swimming in the sea They don't even know it's pointless Their pride remains But this time it won't help They used to be so tall And suddenly they're small There's a couple waiting far behind So they will be out of sight But then who cares? They're dying anyway All of them are doomed this night 11 horses swimming in the sea The sea they fought was just a river They're used to this It's probably just a race That helps to ease their minds But where's the finish line The night grows dark The body wants to rest It hurts to breathe And still they do their best They want to live No matter for how long Their thoughts all disappeared 'Cause now they're really scared 7 horses struggling in the sea Waiting for someone to find them They don't look back 'cause what's the point of that There is only death behind them They cry for help But help will never come They don't now where to swim Or what they're swimming from They try to swim some more When panic starts to spread They're swimming in to shore But only in their heads The 3 last horses Dying in the sea Shouting out their cries but no one They're born to win They're screaming in their hearts The strength of thousand men They're fighting to the end The sun is out Birds are everywhere They're flying high Surfing in the air It's nice to live When life is such a blast One horse that swims It seems to be the last The thirteenth horse Has always been the best His honour will be proud But now he wants to rest He's longing for his home The girl will give him food Good boy, she'll say Together they will play 13 horses swimming in the sea Soon they will be gone forever And while they swim, One thing still remains And that's the hope that never dies It never dies It never dies
