Sing It Away
Lyrics:
Please believe me when I say\\nThere's nothing harder than the strife\\nWhen heavy waters try to break you\\nYou will be singing for life\\n\nWhen you feel like your world is falling down\\nAnd darkness has taken your sight\\nThere's no need to be carrying a frown\\nI'll help you sing it out tonight\\n\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, never make me fade away\\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, huh huh huh\\n\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… yeah\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it away\\n\nSo if you're focused you can make it\\nYou'll feel like nothing can steer you off your course\\nWhen fear will try to make you cave in\\nRemember that love is the source\\n\nWhen you feel like your dreams are beaten down\\nAnd your fire is losing its light\\nThere's no need to be carrying a frown\\nI'll help you sing it out tonight\\n\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, never make me fade away\\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, huh huh huh\\n\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… yeah\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it away\\n\nWhen all of the walls come crashing down\\nWhen you try to scream but can't make a sound\\nDon't you worry about it, don't you worry about it\\nYou just gotta sing it away\\n\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, never make me fade away\\nSing it away, all my troubles away\\nSing it away, huh huh huh\\n\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… yeah\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it\\nOh… I'm gonna sing it away
Finland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Sing It Away" written by Sandhja Kuivalainen, Milos Rosas, Heikki Korhonen, Petri Matara and Markus Savijoki. The song was performed by Sandhja. The Finnish broadcaster Yleisradio (Yle) organised the national final Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2016 in order to select the Finnish entry for the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. An initial 18 entries were selected to compete in the national final, which consisted of three semi-finals and a final, taking place in February 2016. Six entries competed in each semi-final and the top three from each semi-final, as selected solely by a public vote, advanced to the final. Nine entries competed in the final on 27 February where the 50/50 combination of votes from ten jury groups representing different factions of Finnish society and votes from the public selected "Sing It Away" performed by Sandhja as the winner. Finland was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2016. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, "Sing It Away" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Finland placed fifteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 51 points.
