Testo The Rock

There's a low rock wall

By Cliff Mohair

Runs from down on the ground

Right up through the sea air
As a child I would climb

To the top of those stairs

And wish on the fog

I was anywhere else



The farms and the valleys

Are ringed with the stones

Of men who built walls
'Sos to be more alone

All that's left of them now

Are their fears and their bones

But the rocks they put up

Were all I'd ever known



The rock fought my spirit

The rock fed my anger

The rock broke my heart

Like the waves of the sea

I tried hard to fight

But it still grew inside me

This island, My Ireland

The rock is in me



Hard was the ground

In which this child grew

Unforgiving and cold

Was the home that I knew

But knowing the soil

No harvered for you

Made pulling up roots

That much easier to do



Set sail

Young Pilgrims

Set sail

To a new land

Set sail

Our future

Is out there to find li li li li li



The rock fought my spirit

The rock fed my anger

The rock broke my heart

Like the waves of the sea

I tried hard to fight

But it still grew inside me

This island, My Ireland

The rock is in me



The rock fought my spirit

The rock fed my anger

The rock broke my heart

Like the waves of the sea

I tried hard to fight

But it still grew inside me

This island, My Ireland

The rock is in me



Now it's been years

Since I've been in this place

And the winds of my life

Have all weathered my face

But it's only with distance

And the coming of grace

That I see in you beauty

I could never replace



The rock forged my spirit

The rock was my anchor

The rock held me fast

Through the storms of my youth



Now you'll never die

Cause you'll live on insidie me

Oh Illinsha
