Words of the song:
Jesper Olsen, Jesper Olsen,
Your child-heart
Is beauty's rainbow dawn.Your smiling eyes
And your daring legs
Have cancelled
The fear of distance-gong.You I love,
You I admire
Jesper, Jesper.You are God's
Victory-Drum
No whisper.
Running around the world is something that many have maybe dreamt of , but Jesper Olsen did it. He has smashed another mental barrier, and he has shown us that there is no real limit for us, if there are determination, endurance and faith.
