I had the distinct pleasure of singing the following song for a friend's wedding last year. I had not heard this song before they asked me to sing it, and it has now become one of my absolute favourite songs to sing and perform. There is something intimate about the melody, something uplifting about the lyrics, with great depth in the metaphors.
Click here to watch my cover of this tune by Ellie Goulding.
And here are the lyrics and chords for my version of this song:
