  LYRICS

  
  I lost my soul
  Forgot my way
  There’s no mistakes
  That I’ve not made

  Changes hurt
  And I’m alone
  But people say
  ‘My, how you’ve grown’

  Tried changing jobs
  Tried changing lovers
  Changing my furniture
  Change my bed covers

  I’d change my heart
  But there’s not a chance
  So I turn the lights off

  Where are you now when I miss you?
  You’re sailing around in my peripheral
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now, ohhh

  Where are you now?

  I’ll ring the changes
  Make a plan
  I’m small, but mighty
  Yes, I can

  I’ll build a fortress
  I’ll build a wall
  I’ll be a queen
  Invincible

  Tried changing jobs
  Tried changing lovers
  Changing my furniture
  Change my bed covers

  I’d change my heart
  but there’s not a chance
  So I turn the lights off

  Where are you now, when I miss you?
  You’re sailing around in my peripheral
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now, ohhh

  Where are you now?

  Once again I’m left without control
  I’m far away, but can you hear me call?

  Where are you now?

  Where are you now when I miss you?
  You’re sailing around in my peripheral
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now?
  Where are you now, ohhh

  Where are you now?

  Czech Republic in Eurovision

  Czech Republic appeared for the first time in the Contest in 2007 with  Kabat. A a row of disappointing results the country withdrew in 2010 and didn’t return until 2016. In 2016 its return was followed by a grand final qualification for the first time . The best result came for the country in 2018 with  Mikolas Josef who achieved a top 10 placing by finishing  6th , in  Lisbon with his entry Lie to me.

  In 2019, Lake Malawi represented the country and finished 11th in the final . This was the country’s third qualification to the final . The outstanding element was the gap between the jury voting that placed the group 8th with 150 points while the public vote placed the Czech at the 24th place.

  In 2020 Benny Cristo was selected to represent the country with his song "Kemama" but as this year's contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic his Eurovision 2020 journey remained incomplete.  However the Czech hopeful had the chance to reach his Eurovision destination in 2021 with his song 'Omaga', but despite his energetic semi final 2 performance in Rotterdam failed to reach the Grand final show.
