Mother, protect us

I'm fighting back my fear of life, As I've wasted so much precious time, I'm waiting for the sun to rise... Enfurecer contra a morte da luz O sol esta nascendo dentro de mim I'm fighting back my tears tonight, As I've wasted so much precious time, I'm waiting for the sun to rise...

Learpholl 06:21
Freedom of spirit has wakened the soul Fear and troubles have taken their toll Farewell o father, I'm leaving the land Together we struggled, divided we'll stand Years will pass from this dark April morn Tears held back as they wave from the shore Farewell o mother, I'm safe in your prayers My ship she is ready, the wind it blows fair Stranded and lost in a land without heart Liars in wait will to tear us apart Farewell my love, oh from grace I may fall So I'll drown off my sorrows, and wait for the call

Follow the stars, take me back to the start They who darkened the summer are now severed from my heart Love will come Follow the stars, take me back to the start He who darkened the summer is now severed from my heart Love will come

Believe 05:17
The cold earth slept whilst I lived in enmity I was too inept to see the light that shadowed me ...or believe I'm fearless now, as mothers watching over me As I'll watch over you, whilst we drift into infinity Pragmatize, throw the darkness to the wind And purify your heart from the feculence of sin Be free from fear, Believe

Just twenty years ago today, I grasped my mother's hand, She kissed and blessed her only son, going to a foreign land; The neighbours took me from her breast and told her I must go, But I could hear my mother's voice, though her words were sweet and low. Goodbye, Johnny dear, when you're far away, Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea; Write a letter now and then and send her all you can, And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman. I sailed away from Queenstown, that is the cove of Cork, A very pleasant voyage we had and soon we're in New York; I'd plenty of friends to meet me there and work I got next day, But with all the hospitality I could hear my mother say. Goodbye, Johnny dear, when you're far away, Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea; Write a letter now and then and send her all you can, And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman. One day a letter came to me, it came from Ireland, The postmark showed it came from home, it was not my mother's hand; 'Twas father who had wrote to say that she had passed away, And just as if from Heaven above I could hear my mother say. Goodbye, Johnny dear, when you're far away, Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea; Write a letter now and then and send her all you can, And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman. written by Johnny Patterson

Time will tell who I'm waiting for Light fell as destiny stole you away As the tears flowed When I ran to you, and stayed in the cold Could've followed you, and destroyed my soul But I'll love you and forgive you as you'll never know I'm weary now, if the truth be told As I ran to you, and stayed in the cold Though your reasoning bore no light nor hope In the morning I'll still love you both
