Lars Johansson - Samarithan lyrics

One day I saw a man Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand Begging for a penny to survive How poor a man can be I gave him hospitality A room, a bed and lots of food to eat Still I hear his last few words "I can never return what you've done Heaven will remember and repay" Fifty years had gone since I saw him I was dying and I'd soon be dead Three angels stood in front of my bed The first one she said to me, don't be afraid I will give you immortality, and grace for your soul The second had eyes of gold, she gave me my wings The third gave all wisdom, and angel could give To me One day I saw a man Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand Begging for a penny to survive How poor a man can be I gave him hospitality A room, a bed and lots of food to eat I joined with my destiny, eternally I knew I was born again, an angel to be A vision beyond my dreams, called me by name So in devotion I spread my wings, to heaven I had came To stay
