Bound For Glory · 2025

Bound For Glory" is an English version of "Din tid kommer" by million-selling Swedish singer/songwriter Håkan Hellström and composer/producer Björn Olsson. It tells the story about a daughter (or son in the original version by Hellström) who grew up without their father, and how their mother told them to "be all that I could never be". The chorus is both the mother's assurance to her young daughter ("You will find your promised land, the world is in your hands, guarded by an angel's grace, let no one never doubt your fate, your time will come, you're bound for glory") and later the singer's assurance to their audience, that despite any hardships they may face - "Close my eyes to see, how dreams came to be, the road wasn't straight instead it turned, down every dead-end one must learn" - that they are also bound for glory one day. The song has been played on the radio in at least 12 countries on five continents, including the SiriusXM Satellite Radio show "Nordic Rox" featuring Roxette singer/songwriter Per Gessle on October 5 2025.
