His best friend had passed over
\nAnd the pain was clearly felt
\nIt had become distressing
\nHow the ugly hand had dealt
\nAn overwhelming loss for him
\nAnd so he wrote a song
\nDressed in an indigenous Sami dress
\nWhich is where he did belong<\/p>\n
On Swedish television
\nHe sang his yoik
\nAnd they
\nNot understanding the language
\nBut feeling it his way
\nOf really communicating his agony and regret
\nIt was a tearful number
\nAnd clearly all were set<\/p>\n
The reindeer herder
\nClearly a hard life he agreed
\nThe ice and snow and little else
\nFor him to succeed
\nIt was a moving anthem
\nWritten for his friend
\nAnd everyone could feel the pain
\nright up to the end<\/p>\n
4 yes’ he achieved them
\nEmotionally one could see
\nThe judges from his manner
\nHow much they could be
\nMoved by his rendition
\nHe stole their hearts away
\nA truly moving performance
\nIn every single way<\/p>\n
And his spectacular costume
\nThe indigenous colours bright
\nVivid red and vivid greenAnd a slate grey coat
\nLooked right
\nSandy coloured trousers
\nAnd a fur hat clearly he
\nWas dressed up for the cold climes
\nAs everyone could see<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
