Lyrics:
Look into these eyes, hold onto these hands, believe in this heartbeat\\nThough you're afraid that I might break, just hold on\\nShadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart\\nSo let the light of my love shine bright\\n\nWhen I cry, it's for the lonely\\nWhen I pray, it's for the lost and stray\\nWhen I love like there's no tomorrow\\nNo more words to say, it's for you\\n\nLook straight ahead, hold onto your dreams, believe in this magic\\nOpen your eyes, open your mind and it's there\\nShadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart\\nSo let the light of my love shine bright\\n\nWhen I cry, it's for the lonely\\nWhen I pray, it's for the lost and stray\\nWhen I love like there's no tomorrow\\nNo more words to say...\\n\nWhen shadows haunt you and darkness crowds your heart\\nLet the light of my love shine bright\\n\nWhen I cry, it's for the lonely\\nWhen I pray, it's for the lost and stray\\nWhen I love like there's no tomorrow\\nNo more words to say, it's for you (It's for you)\\nIt's for you
Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "It's for You" written by Niall Mooney, Mårten Eriksson, Jonas Gladnikoff and Lina Eriksson. The song was performed by Niamh Kavanagh, who had previously represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 where she won the contest with the song "In Your Eyes". The Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) organised the national final Eurosong 2010 in order to select the Irish entry for the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway. Five songs faced the votes of six regional juries and a public televote, ultimately resulting in the selection of "It's for You" performed by Niamh Kavanagh as the Irish Eurovision entry. Ireland was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 27 May 2010. Performing during the show in position 12, "It's for You" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 29 May. It was later revealed that Ireland placed ninth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 67 points. In the final, Ireland performed in position 10 and placed twenty-third out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 25 points.
