Seanchas {Wisdom}

All that needs to be said has been already written . Please today spend a moment in reflection of all those lost to us on this day and on all the days since. Decent people of good faith can differ in their opinions on what has transpired since this most horrible of days. But let us not take anything away from those that passed over to the other side 5 years ago or those who have fought this country's battles since then. The heroism of those who acted on that day should continue to be an inspiration to us all.
An seanchas gearr, an seanchas is fearr.

Can't see nothin in front of me, Can't see nothin coming up behind.
I make my way through this darkness, I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me.
Lost track of how far Ive gone, lost track of how high Ive climbed.
On my backs a sixty pound stone, On my shoulder a half mile of line.

Come on up for the rising. Come on up, lay your hands in mine.
Come on up for the rising. Come on up for the rising tonight.

Left the house this morning, Bells ringing filled the air.
Wearin the cross of my calling, On wheels of fire I come rollin down here.

Come on up for the rising, Come on up, lay your hands in mine.
Come on up for the rising. Come on up for the rising tonight.

Theres spirits above and behind me, faces gone black, eyes burnin bright.
May their precious blood bind meLord, as I stand before your fiery light.

I see you Mary in the garden. In the garden of a thousand sighs.
There's holy pictures of her children, dancin in a sky filled with light.
May I feel your arms around me. May I feel your blood mix with mine.
A dream of life comes to me, like a catfish dancin on the end of my line.

Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life) Your burnin wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life

Come on up for the rising. Come on up, lay your hands in mine.
Come on up for the rising. Come on up for the rising tonight..
