May it be
An evening star
Shines down
Upon you
May it be
When darkness falls

Will be true
You walk along a road
Oh how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
'Darkness has come'
Believe and you
Will find your way
Mornië alantië
'Darkness has fallen down'
A promise lives
Within you now
May it be
The shadow`s call
Will fly away
May it be
A journey on
To light the day
When the night is all gone
You may rise
To find the sun
Mornië utúlië
'Darkness has come'
Believe and you
Will find your way
Mornië alantië
'Darkness has fallen down'
A promise lives
Within you now
A promise lives
Within you now...
