Lyrics:
Lightning strikes on the sea\\nBreaking waves around me\\nStormy tides and I feel my ship capsizing\\n\nOut of sight, saving shore\\nEver gone, ever more\\nRocks and tide, rain that pours, the water's rising\\n\nIn devastating times,\\nI keep this hope of mine\\nEven in the darkest night\\n\n'cause there is a light, guiding my way\\nKeeping me safe when oceans rage\\nThere in the sky, hiding away\\nNever to die and fade\\n\nI know that I'll find your lighthouse,\\nyour lighthouse\\nI know that I'll find your…\\n\nHarbour's near, no more fear\\nWall of clouds disappears\\nSo I steer to the pier, in tears arriving\\n\nIn devastating times,\\nI keep this hope of mine\\nEven in the darkest night\\n\n'cause there is a light, guiding my way\\nKeeping me safe when oceans rage\\nThere in the sky, hiding away\\nNever to die and fade\\n\nI know that I'll find your…\\nI know that I'll find your…\\n\nThere is a light,\\nKeeping me safe when oceans rage\\nThere in the sky, hiding away\\nNever to die and fade\\n\nI know that I'll find your, your lighthouse,\\nyour lighthouse, your lighthouse,\\nyour lighthouse, your lighthouse
Croatia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Lighthouse" written by Andreas Grass and Nikola Paryla. The song was performed by Nina Kraljić. Croatia returned to the Eurovision Song Contest after a two-year absence following their withdrawal in 2014 due to financial limitations and poor results at the contest. Nina Kraljić was selected internally by the Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) on 24 February 2016 to represent Croatia at the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. Her song "Lighthouse" was presented to the public on 9 March 2016 during a special radio programme broadcast on the HR 2 station. Croatia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2016. Performing during the show in position 5, "Lighthouse" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. This was Croatia's first qualification to the final in seven years; their last appearance in the final was in 2009. It was later revealed that Croatia placed tenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 133 points. In the final, Croatia performed in position 17 and placed twenty-third out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 73 points.
