Long for the sailor, beneath the skies
Long for the white dove, no matter where she flies
Long for the stranger you know so well

Pray for the soldier, who's wounded bad
Pray for the dreamer, he's still so sad
Pray for the stranger you know so well

Cause I'm coming home
Now the time has come
For me to come back home

Long for the eagle, on wings so strong
Long for the hunter, he won't be long
Long for the stranger you know so well

Europe

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
