First Steps by Elbow


The BBC created a fabulous video for their Olympic coverage and commissioned Elbow to write the theme.

I fell in love with the music it always brings me out in goosebumps and fills me with pride.

Below is Elbow's video and the song lyrics



The lyrics are

First Steps

The sun, the moon
Both turn for you.
And through your days
Will light your way.

Our strength and love
All in your blood
Our hope and pride
All in your eyes.

Your eyes.
Your eyes.

You shape our world
With every step.
Oh, the will to fly
Is in your eyes.

Our strength and love
All in your blood.
Our hope and pride
All in your eyes.

Your eyes.
Your eyes.
Your eyes.

i like litterally discovered elbow last week, completely seperate from the BBC, so I may be a little biased when I say it is a wonderful song. Very... olympic,.
