Sunlight
Lyrics:
Don't be afraid, it's only dark\\nTill the world turns round\\nJust don't look down if you're afraid of the higher ground\\nHold on to me and let me hold on to you\\nWe don't look back we let it slide out of view\\nAnd we can make it if we break out beyond these clouds\\n\nWe'll be standing out in the sunlight\\nWe stay together, we'll live forever in the sunlight\\nIt's now or never you know you better\\nJust touch who you wanna, kiss who you gotta\\nFight like we're winners, love like beginners\\nDance like you mean it, sing like you feel it\\nEverything's better standing out in the sun\\n\nStop for a moment just to take in the sights and sounds\\nHold on to me and let me hold onto you\\nWe don't look back, we let it slide out of view\\nThere's no tomorrow so let's live in the here and now\\n\nWe'll be standing out in the sunlight\\nWe stay together, we'll live forever in the sunlight\\nIt's now or never you know you better\\nJust touch who you wanna, kiss who you gotta\\nFight like we're winners, love like beginners\\nDance like you mean it, sing like you feel it\\nEverything's better standing out in the sun\\n\nCome turn me inside out upside down\\nI'll be your lover boy\\nTurn the music loud we can join the crowd in the sunlight\\nWe stay together, we'll live forever in the sunlight\\n\nIt's now or never you know you better\\nJust touch who you wanna, kiss who you gotta\\nFight like we're winners, love like beginners\\nDance like you mean it, sing like you feel it\\nEverything's better standing out in the sun
Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Sunlight" written by Nicky Byrne, Wayne Hector and Ronan Hardiman. The song was performed by Nicky Byrne, who was internally selected in January 2016 by the Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) to represent the nation at the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. "Sunlight" was presented as the Irish entry during the announcement of Byrne's internal selection on 13 January 2016. Ireland was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2016. Performing during the show in position 7, "Sunlight" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Ireland placed fifteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 46 points.
