Like the Wind was the Belgian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 in Jerusalem performed by Vanessa Chinitor.

This was the first entry from Belgium to be performed in English with the language rule being relaxed. This is different to the country's song in 1977, as that was submitted before the rules were changed.

It was performed 2nd on the night following Lithuania and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in 12th place with 38 points.

Lyrics[]

The wind has blown for eternity
Never looking back, never giving in – never
Causing the waves on the stormy sea
But never staying long, always running on – always

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free

The mountains, full of serenity
Uncaring 'bout the wind, never giving in – never
But waves that roll on the stormy sea
Turn mountains into dust, the wind, it wins at last – always

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Be like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Run forever free
