Forgiveness
Let all the hatred leave these shores now
Never to return
Holy Ground
I love the sound of the bodhran,
kicking in behind me |

The Man Is Alive
The night sometimes seems dangerous
we wonder what it hides
You
What once was luscious green,
now is gorgeous brown
Diamond Mountain
I will be here when you need me,
I will be here in the pouring rain
Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
Somebody needs you, you always come through,
you let nobody down but when you're low,
where do you go who helps you come around
When I look at you, I see your power,
but when your blues come around,
you're so hard on yourself
Forgiveness
I open up my eyes
To the sunlight shining new
And in the dream that takes me back
A single word rings through
My memories awaken
To the horrors come to pass
One word in the morning light
Brings freedom home at last
Forgiveness ...
For the ancient wounds still hurting
For the wrongs I've never known
For all the children left to die
Near fields where corn was grown
Like the ones who braved the ocean
In the fever sheds to burn
Let all the hatred leave these shores now
Never to return
Forgiveness
Rainbow Day
I forget about the future,
squeeze the juice out of the day |
