“Love Shine a Light”.
Vocals: British rock band Katrina and the Waves.
Lyrics: Written by English rock singer-songwriter, guitarist and Cambridge archaeologist Kimberley Charles Rew.
The song, hereunder, represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997, latter held in Dublin, which resulted in the country’s fifth win at this contest.
Yes, those were the days when the Eurovision was watchable and eagerly awaited. It was a time when songs were judged by their actual lyrics and the vocal ability of each performer. It did not totally depend on exploding light shows; insane costumes; outlandish on-stage behaviour; obscene and profane expletives and the generation of political statements, promoting hatred.
“Love Shine a Light”.
Love shine a light in every corner of my heart.
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry,
Light up the magic in every little part,
Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
Love shine a light in every corner of my dreams,
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry,
Like the mighty river, flowing from the stream,
Let our love shine a light in every corner of my dreams.
And we’re all gonna shine a light together,
All shine a light to light the way,
Brothers and sisters, in every little part,
Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
Love shine a light in every corner of the world,
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry,
Light up the magic, for every boy and girl,
Let our love shine a light in every corner of the world.
And we’re all gonna shine a light together,
All shine a light to light the way,
Brothers and sisters, in every little part,
Let our love shine a light, in every corner of our hearts.
And we’re all gonna shine a light together,
All shine a light to light the way,
Brothers and sisters, in every little part,
Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
Shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
END
