Day 34: "May it Be" from The Fellowship of the Ring

To tell the truth, I've done a lot of reading and editing lately of others' work, and I didn't read enough of one book today to constitute a whole one (I did Chronicles of Myriad--which was AWESOME! But I counted that for yesterday--) and the other book is sent to me in sections by my friend Julie. I love editing, but that's what you do in the time that is given to you. Anyway, in the hours that I haven't had Internet (which is probably around three or four), I have been watching my favorite scenes of Lord of the Rings, and I can't get over it! These are SO good. Everyone should watch them, even if they aren't fantasy fans...you can still learn and take so much from them. Great music, great cast--just so good. There's nothing left to be said. And so I give you the lyrics to one of my favorite songs in the trilogy: "May It Be" by 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 you 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.
