In 2010 Sussi, the crazy Finn, played us all 'The conquest of Paradise' by Dana Winner one evening and it became our song of the Camino without further ado. This was the song that started my day, so I just had to fire up the PC and play it for real .
The lyrics are wonderful and inspirational and kind of capture what the Camino is about for me, and by Camino in this instance I mean my life path:
There shines a light in the heart of man,
Defies the dead of the night,
A beam that glows within every soul
Like wings of hope taking flight.
A sunny day, when a baby's born,
The little things that we say,
A special sparkle in someone's eye,
Simple gifts, every day.
Somewhere there's a paradise
Where everyone finds release,
It's here on earth and between your eyes,
A place we all find our peace
Come - open your heart,
Reach for the stars,
Believe your own power.
Now - here in this place,
Here on this earth,
This is the hour.
It's just a place we call paradise,
Each of us has his own,
It has no name, no, it has no price,
It's just a place we call home.
A dream that reaches beyond the stars
The endless blue of the skies,
Forever wondering: who we are?
Forever questioning: why?
Come - open your heart,
Reach for the stars,
Believe your own power.
Now - here in this place,
Here on this earth,
This is the hour.
There shines a light in the heart of man,
Defies the dead of the night,
A beam that glows within every soul
Like wings of hope taking flight,
Like wings of hope taking flight.
