_____________________________
Galadriel-
I sung of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves there grew.
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in then blew.
Lothlorien...
In light I wove a secret land of timeless joy
My perfect child no mortal hand could dare destroy
Lothlorien...
Beyond the sun,
Beyond the moon,
Wonder... Wonder...
Shine forever
Beacon of light
Blaze in the air
Vanquishing night.
Live forever,
Held like a breath,
Deep at the core,
Blossom in death.
My golden leaves will fade and fall through branching years
Though sweet the song yet sweeter still shall be the tears
The night must come the shadows grow the dark descend
And all we love and all we know must reach an end
Lothlorien.
Though worlds will die and worlds will grow.
Out of death, life.
Out of night, day.
Glory from sorrow.
Out of grief, joy.
Out of storm, come,
Strength for tomorrow...
Out of dust, gold.
Out of fire, air.
Comfort forsaking.
Out of rage, calm.
Out of loss, find
Glory Awaking.
Shine forever,
Beacon of light.
Blaze in the air
Vanquishing night.
Sing forever,
Proud and strong.
Anthem of life
Conquering song.
Though tides of fate
Onward run.
The song of hope, once begun,
Will evermore
Remain.

I never watched all of the production but I adore most of its songs. And this one is a most genius song - maybe one of the best songs ever written in popculture - in my opinion written in inspiration. It seems like Galadriel telling us about Lorien, but today it also can be felt as any sane part of humanity singing glory of Arda :) the world darkens in so many ways today - legaly, economicaly, technologicaly, medicaly, agriculturaly, and for me most of all spiritualy - and our Arda is one of rare beacons of light and hope. :)

I agree. This is definately one of my favorite songs from it.
