Lyrics

I can see the light is burning in your eyes
We will rise above the darkness of the night
We will stand as one together we can fight
Cos I can see the lighthouse
I can see the light

Soon you will realise the fire shines so bright
It lives inside of you, can you feel it beat in time
So darling take my hand let’s burn the night sky
I can see the lighthouse
I can see the light

Let’s dance into the night sky
Let’s dance together we’ll fly
Let’s dance into the night sky
Let’s dance together we’ll fly
Light me up light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up
The dark makes me shine brighter
Light me up Light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up

Hear the people sing and watch the rivers run
Follow your heart and dreams, the journey’s just begun
The dark will call your name and storms will hide the sun
I can see the lighthouse
I can see the light

Let’s dance into the night sky
Let’s dance together we’ll fly
Let’s dance into the night sky
Let’s dance together we’ll fly
Light me up light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up
The dark makes me shine brighter
Light me up Light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up

Courage lives in you
Sense will pull you through
Can you feel it, Can you feel it
You will find your way
Never lose your faith
Keep believing Keep believing

Courage lives in you
Sense will pull you through
Can you feel it, Can you feel it
You will find your way
Never lose your faith
Keep believing Keep believing

Let’s dance Let’s dance

Light me up light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up
The dark makes me shine brighter
Light me up Light me up
Like a star I’ll keep on rising
Light me up Light me up

This song makes me feel all different emotions 😍it's such a powerful amazing song

[ho]

I'm so grateful that it's finally on youtube.
I've been wanted to repeat this song again and again...
Love the very last part of this video, it was so cute.
Lyra has amazing strong voice and Bill Whelan has great infusion of traditional and new.
You two make the best irish alternative tune I've ever wanted.
I want more tumes from Lyra and Bill Whelan!!

Essa música toca a alma. Quando escutei pela primeira vez, mesmo sem entender Inglês, me apaixonei . Depois busquei a tradução. E só confirmou minha paixão. Lyra sua voz, sua interpretação, encaixou perfeitamente.

[nessanessa]

This is my daughter Lyra’s favorite song 🥰

[shaniceball]

The movie was absolutely moving! And the end credits with Lyra's voice, perfection!

[luistorh]

I thank you for posting this beautiful song together with the lyrics. In the past, after watching the movie, I always wondered about the lyrics, as some parts, as a non-native speaker, were very difficult to follow. Now all doubts were cleared! Great, great song, and I love the interpretation of Lyra!

[ieshaweaver]

Man, y’all just don’t know how long I have been waiting for this video! My 1 year old daughter and I have been watching it since it came out and we absolutely love it! We always get up and try to river dance, it’s a very special moment. But the song is resonating with me so much right now, so many emotions and tears I cry listening to this. Thanks for this!

[SofiaHernandez-usne]

I just watched the movie and this song is so powerful. I loved it❤

[mckenzie.latham]

Four of the things i love about this film:

1. Pierce Brosnan as Grandad and Patrick the Stag King

2. Brendan Gleeson as The Huntsmen

3. This song

4. The message present the film, “we dance to celebrate life and to honor a life in death"

[JohnBuckley]

Send her to the Eurovision next year. She’d do so well

[cleaa-wdcw]

Growing up I remember watching riverdance on repeat on VHS and now this movie I could watch even more and so happy this song is out on youtube love it!!

[anateodoraarsene]

I saw the movie and I was so excited about the music. This is the best music I've ever heard!! Recommend

[RedCard]

Before I saw this movie, I was very skeptical. I just saw if for the first time last night, and it was surprisingly good. The animated dance sequences are beautiful. And this song is amazing.

[pinkyman]

When you know its Irish then its bound to be magical, Music, Dance, Drama, Film or Art, the Irish have the abilty to create amazing and stunning material. ( No I'm not Irish) x
