The Beautiful Haunting Songs from Celtic WomanLoading We are going to enjoy something far more modern today with 'Celtic Woman'. This is a female vocal ensemble that performs a mix of Celtic, New Age, and contemporary music. The group's first performance was filmed in 2004 so today we are taking a break from the giants of the musical industry of the last century and looking at what is happening in the 21st century. The Show Opens with 'Walking in the Air'. Ladies and Gentlemen.... 'Celtic Woman'! (Round of applause, please)
Walking in the air floating the sky Floating in the air We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly We're holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forest and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We're walking in the air We're dancing in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly Lyrics of 'The Voice' And I hear you call out my name "Listen, my child," you say to me "I am the voice of your history Be not afraid, come follow me Answer my call, and I'll set you free" I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice that always is calling you I am the voice, I will remain I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow Never do I sleep thoughout all the cold winter long I am the force that in springtime will grow I am the voice of the past that will always be Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice that always is calling you I am the voice I am the voice of the past that will always be I am the voice of your hunger and pain I am the voice of the future I am the voice, I am the voice I am the voice, I am the voice I bless the sun, I bless the skies I bless your lips, I bless your eyes My blessing goes with you In the nighttime when you sleep Oh I bless you while a watch I keep As you lie in slumber deep My blessing goes with you This is my prayer for you There for you, ever true Each, every day for you In everything you do And when you come to me And hold me close to you I bless you And you bless me, too When your weary heart is tired If the world would leave you uninspired When nothing more of love's desired My blessing goes with you When the storms of life are strong When you're wounded, when you don't belong When you no longer hear my song My blessing goes with you This is my prayer for you There for you, ever true Each, every day for you In everything you do And when you come to me And hold me close to you I bless you And you bless me, too I bless you And you bless me, too Biography of Celtic Woman
