To Know Your Mission |
| A Mormon missionary walks through Vasaallén |
| Through a clear-as-crystal Gothenburg morning |
| Removing his suit jacket, loosening his tie |
| Wiping the sweat from his neck and the sleep from his eyes |
| It’s 1997, the last morning of August |
| At the corner of 7-Eleven he hears the broadcast |
| Another saint is lost, Lady Di’s returned to stardust |
| He listens to the tragic news, followed by the Top 10 tunes |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| Will Smith, Puff Daddy, Gala, Chumbawamba |
| On the other side of the street he passes Café Java |
| Where no one listens to that crap |
| Oh, coffee and hair dyed raven black |
| All so sure of everything except one question |
| What’s our mission? |
| What are we here for? |
| Who are we serving? |
| What can we do? |
| What’s our mission? |
| What are we here for? |
| Who are we serving? |
| What can we do? |
| He bumps into a teenage boy leaning 'gainst the fence |
| Who takes his headphones off and introduces himself as Jens |
| Riffling through the Book of Mormon, says it’s way too early in the morning |
| Instead of talking about religion, can we just talk about how it feels? |
| To know your mission |
| To know what you’re here for |
| To know who you’re serving |
| To know what to do |
| To know your mission |
| To know what you’re here for |
| To know who you’re serving |
| To know what to do |
| To have a dream |
| A GPS in your heart |
| A path to follow |
| Through the dark |
| Well, Jens says, «I write songs sometimes |
| But they’re kinda bad |
| So if that doesn’t work out |
| I want to be a social worker just like my dad |
| I just want to listen to people’s stories |
| Hear what they have to say» |
| My friends say, «Just be a shrink then» |
| But I don’t know, I don’t think I’ll have the grades |
| But in a world of mouths |
| I want to be an ear |
| If there’s a purpose to all this |
| Then that’s why God put me here |
| I know what I’m here for |
| I know who I’m serving |
| I’m serving you |
| I’m serving you |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
| We have left |
| All, all |
