Lyrics:
Every song is a cry for love\\nEvery voice can rise above\\nSo don't be afraid\\nJust show what you're made of\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\n\nEvery day is a brand new start\\nEvery night you could fall apart\\nAnytime you doubt the truth that's in your heart\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\n\nBeing strong, being tough\\nNever tender, always rough\\nIt was never enough for me\\n\nIn the dead of the night\\nOnly love can hold you tight\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\n\nEvery kiss is a call for home\\nEvery touch means you're not alone\\nYou don't always have to make it on your own\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\n\nBeing strong, being tough\\nNever tender, always rough\\nIt was never enough for me\\n\nIn the dead of the night\\nOnly love can hold you tight\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\n\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\nSing it out: every song is a cry for love\\nEvery song is a cry for love
Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Every Song Is a Cry for Love" written and performed by Brian Kennedy, who was internally selected in November 2005 by the Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) to represent the nation at the 2006 contest in Athens, Greece. RTÉ organised the national final Eurosong 2006 to select the song that Kennedy would perform. Three songs faced a public televote, ultimately resulting in the selection of "Every Song Is a Cry for Love" as the Irish entry. Ireland competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2006. Performing during the show in position 8, "Every Song Is a Cry for Love" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 20 May. It was later revealed that Ireland placed ninth out of the 23 participating countries in the semi-final with 79 points. In the final, Ireland performed in position 21 and placed tenth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 93 points.
Overall Final Postion: 10
