See the Lights
This uplifting ballad is inspired by Vivid Sydney, an annual festival of lights and music in Rachel's home town of Sydney, Australia. The lyrics take us on a journey to the sights and sounds of Sydney Harbour at night, lit up with a 'kaleidoscope of colour'. Singers and audiences will be transported by the soaring melodies and beautiful harmonies, making this a perfect concert piece.
Lyrics
Come with me to the water's edge
Take my hand, now open your eyes
Watch the sun as it slips away
​
Feel the glow by the sandstone wall
Hear the sounds of the harbour at night
Join the crowd, see their faces shine
A magical spectacle of light
​
See the lights
Shimmering so vivid and bright
Over the bay
A wild kaleidoscope of colour
A dancing and dazzling display
​
Look above to the star-filled sky
See the tales of dreamers gone by
Make a wish, hold it tight
​
A magical spectacle of light
​
Who'd've thought that we'd ever see this sight
With the night lit up like a stage
Illuminating secrets like an open book
With the world on every page
​
See the lights
Shimmering so vivid and bright
Over the bay
A wild kaleidoscope of colour
Dancing and dazzling
Bewitching, enchanting
Now nothing will stand in our way
​
Lights!
