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!
