From the CD cover:
This song is written by Uncle Trond to Ida (b. Jan. 1998): The most heroic little girl in the world!!! Ida was born with a broken spine and is paralyzed from the neck down. The first four months of her life, she spent over 60 days at the hospital. Despite this, she is such a sunbeam!! For a golden girl we had to have a goldthroat: Sissel Kyrkjebø sings with emotion and beauty like no one else can!!
