The Daily Boost #753

A promise lives within you now

This is the theme song from the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. You’ll see in the lyrics these words from the fictional Elvish language, Quenya, created by J.R.R, author of The Lord of the Rings fantasy series.

Mornië utúlië translates to "Darkness has come."
Mornië alantië translates to "Darkness has fallen."

MAY IT BE
Howard Leslie Shore, Nicky Ryan, Roma Shane Ryan, & Ethne Patricia Brennan

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 utulie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's 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 utulie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now . . .

(My thanks to Enya and the other songwriters.)
