Nú vaknar þú Allt virðist vera breytt Ég gægist út En ég sé ekki neitt Á skóna bind svo Á náttfötum hún Í draumi barst hún Ég hrekk í kút En sólin, er hún? Hvar er hún? Inní hýr? En hvar ert þú? Legg upp í túr (ég legg upp í túr) Og tölti götuna Sé ekki út (ég sé ekki út) Og nota stjörnurnar Hleypur endalaust hún Og klifrar svo út Glósóli-leg hún Og komdu út Mig vaknar draum-haf Mitt hjartað, slá Úfið hár Sturlun við fjar-óð Sem skyldu-skrá Og hér ert þú Fannst mér Og hér ert þú Glósóli Og hér ert þú Glósóli Og hér ert þú Glósóli Og hér ert þú
