May It Be lyrics
Enya 🎸May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornie Utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie Alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie Utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie Alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
