cd: Little Bits of Truth
track 6: Lullaby for Ireland
Sing a lullaby for Ireland, for all that she’s been through
From the hopeless desperation to the freedom still so new
For the ones who fought so tireless, gave their lives but spoke the truth
Sing a lullaby for Ireland and the price she paid for you
She’s been bloodied, bruised and battered, held for ages against her will
Stripped bare of her own language, many wounds that haunt her still
But a timeless natural beauty and a people’s strength as well
Pushes past the cups of sorrow to a place that pain dispels
ChorusFrom an endless occupation to starvation at their hand
And a ruthless emigration, many forced to leave their land
With a grim determination to do more than just survive
She has proudly passed her bloodline to a hundred million lives
ChorusSo keep in mind what you may owe her and the ones that went before
Be ashamed if you don’t know her, be amazed at what’s in store
For the path that lies before her like the one she leaves behind
Surely won’t be without struggle but her legacy reminds
Chorus
