THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT COLUMBA

 

The feast day of Saint Columba

Is an Irish National Day

When the Irish people

Celebrate Saint Columba's Day

When love fills the heart

Until it overflows 

There is but one thing to-do

As everyone knows

And that is to share it out

With friends and foes


WE LIVE IN A CYNICAL WORLD

 

We live in a cynical world

So why should we believe

We think our politicians

Are programmed to deceive

We distrust anyone wearing

Their heart on their sleeve

As impossibly naive

But for me it is impossible

For me to ever conceive

Of a universe where God

Is absent from the weave

If it’s a fallen angel, you require

If it’s a good time girl, you desire

Then any bar will fill your need

Pick any club and you’ll succeed

But if it’s for an angel you search

Then you should try the Church

You’ll find in any neighbourhood

A girl who uses her time for good

The embers of the dawn

Brightly glow

As God blows gentle breath

Upon the glowing coals

And lights up another day
