Letra The rock Alexz Johnson

The rock

There's a low rock wall
By the cliffs of MoharRuns 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 the men who built walls
Sos to be more alone All thats left of them now
Are their fears and their bones
But the rocks they put up
Were all I've 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 IrelandThe 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
Not harboured for you
Makes 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 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 IrelandThe rock is in me I tried hard to fight
But it still grew inside me
This island my IrelandThe rock is in me Now it's been years
Since I've been in that place
And the winds of my life
Have all weathered my face But if 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 live on inside me
On IllinshaMoharen fain
