Elton John i Parken

Så kom dagen endelig, hvor en af verdens allerbedste sangskrivere giver sin meget anmelderroste koncert The Red Piano i Parken. Jeg ved på forhånd, hvilke sange Elton John formodentlig vil spille og glæder mig derfor enormt meget til at høre nogle af mine egne yndlingssange live, som f.eks. Your Song (Eltons Johns første store hit fra 1970), I'm Still Standing, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me og Daniel - men den sang jeg glæder mig allermest til at høre er Believe:



I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love

I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross
Love is simple, hate breeds
Those who think difference is the child of disease
Father and son make love and guns
Families together kill someone
Without love, I believe in love

Without love I wouldn't believe
In anything that lives and breathes
Without love I'd have no anger
I wouldn't believe in the right to stand here
Without love I wouldn't believe
I couldn't believe in you
And I wouldn't believe in me
Without love

I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love

(Hvis der var nogen som skulle mene, at Elton John ikke er særlig cool eller street, så vil jeg da gerne lige minde om hans sang Ghetto Gospel med 2pac og hans optræden sammen med Eminem til Grammy Awards i 2001).
