《Forgiveness》歌词

[00:00:34] Walking wounded children lined the roads about the town

[00:00:42] Aging little faces full of need

[00:00:49] Who never should have suffered from this hunger

[00:00:56] There's a better world to go to I believed

[00:01:05] Before our journey to Canada

[00:01:12] My love and I were married in the town

[00:01:20] One day of freedom from the anguish

[00:01:28] We sang and danced with friends from all around

[00:01:37] A stor mo chroi

[00:01:44] I'll always love you

[00:01:51] On an overcrowded ship we crossed the ocean

[00:02:00] Many found their graveyard in that sea

[00:02:07] Those who set their dreams on a life in Canada

[00:02:14] Surrendered to the fate that was to be

[00:02:23] Finally my true love's heart was broken

[00:02:30] In a fever shed in Canada she died

[00:02:38] Though I will assist my fellow countrymen

[00:02:45] There is nothing only emptiness inside

[00:02:57] A stor mo chroi

[00:03:04] I'll always love you

[00:03:11] All my fear of dying dissipated

[00:03:19] Now I'm simply waiting for the end

[00:03:28] Before I'm laid to rest in Canada

[00:03:34] I'll bring some comfort to my Irish friends

[00:03:43] Talk to them of better days behind us

[00:03:50] Before a brute for power put us down

[00:03:58] I'll sing until the reaper comes to take me

[00:04:05] To the love that lies waiting in the ground

[00:04:15] A stor mo chroi

[00:04:23] I'll always love you

[00:05:10] I open up my eyes

[00:05:51] To the sunlight shining new

[00:05:56] And in the dream that takes me back

[00:06:00] A single word rings through

[00:06:04] My memories awaken

[00:06:07] To the horrors come to pass

[00:06:12] One word in the morning light

[00:06:15] Brings freedom home at last

[00:06:32] Forgiveness

[00:06:35] For the ancient wounds still hurting

[00:06:39] For the wrongs I've never known

[00:06:43] For all the children left to die

[00:06:47] Near fields where corn was grown

[00:06:51] Like the ones who braved the ocean

[00:06:55] In the fever sheds to burn

[00:06:59] Let all the hatred leave these shores now

[00:07:23] Never to return

[00:07:48] Forgiveness
