cd: Live at Bainbridge
track 14: Scars of Our Resistance
Fanning our hatred
Centuries old
Thousands of stories
Angrily told
I have a wish
For what lies ahead
Forgive not forget
Like my grandfather said
I know in my heart
That there’s room for redemption
Just as sure as Ireland’s
Encircled by the sea
And I’ll do my part
And I’ll offer no exemption
May a world without
Forgiveness never be
May the scars of our resistance
Keep us free
This generation
Just like the last
Born for the future
But torn by the past
Give them the wisdom
To fairly decide
Which path would honor
The ones who have died
Chorus
Grudging concessions
Offering no ground
Judging confessions
So hollow they sound
Pray for the vision
To know where we’ve been
Chapters behind us
Will not rise again
Dulahan Music
