Det kunne skjedd [English translation]

It could have happened

It must have happened

It happens now

Somewhere else

It can happen

Some other time

A bit further away

A bit closer

It happened to someone

But you missed it

Because you went last

Because you went first

You were lucky

So lucky

Because you were smallest

Because you were largest

You went to the left

Thank God

Because the sun was up

Because the rain came down

You went to the right

You were lucky

Because you were awake

Because you were asleep

You were lucky

You had shelter

A boat arrived

A tram arrived

You were alone

Met people, you remained

You walked and walked

A tiny straw

You could reach

What's the chance

Really

A tiny straw

That floated past

A tiny straw

And you were free
