Life Begins And Ends (But Never Fails)
More is the plenty of a life just shy of empty
As a nation drowns beneath a restless sky
The boats, they all be sailin', but our sadness mocks the wavin'
As a breeze, with vengeance, blows against the tide
But to the shore we love, grows smaller with each sigh
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
We're passin' ships, we hunger, our bellies growl with thunder
As death becomes the beauty of the frail
But savage hearts remember these stolen lives they plundered
Awake me now before the end's in sight
Oh, nevermore to hear these graves become alive
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
What could we do? Oh, what could we do?
But raise a smile to justify these blackened hearts could do
What could we do? (What could we do?) Oh, what could we do? (What could we do?)
But sail away from the wolves that preyed in his famine ships, we flew
What could we do, oh, what could we do?
Sail away!
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
Oh, this life begins and ends, but it never fails
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
As a nation drowns beneath a restless sky
The boats, they all be sailin', but our sadness mocks the wavin'
As a breeze, with vengeance, blows against the tide
But to the shore we love, grows smaller with each sigh
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
We're passin' ships, we hunger, our bellies growl with thunder
As death becomes the beauty of the frail
But savage hearts remember these stolen lives they plundered
Awake me now before the end's in sight
Oh, nevermore to hear these graves become alive
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
What could we do? Oh, what could we do?
But raise a smile to justify these blackened hearts could do
What could we do? (What could we do?) Oh, what could we do? (What could we do?)
But sail away from the wolves that preyed in his famine ships, we flew
What could we do, oh, what could we do?
Sail away!
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
From County Wexford onward, to Manchester and London
America looks further by the day
This life begins and ends, but it never fails
Oh, this life begins and ends, but it never fails
And we all know where we're goin', every sister, child, and brother
Not all of us who wander find a way
