Wise & Holy Woman - Christy Moore[00:00:01]
I met a woman near the town where I was walkin'[00:00:20]
We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze[00:00:26]
She closed her eyes and started singing[00:00:32]
A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world[00:00:38]
She sang of the forests on the high high mountain[00:00:44]
The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe[00:00:50]
Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance[00:00:56]
And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed[00:01:02]
She had an everlasting notion[00:01:08]
The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream[00:01:13]
As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean[00:01:19]
Shine a light shine a light on me[00:01:26]
She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo[00:01:34]
For the homeless street children that never learned to smile[00:01:39]
She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez[00:01:45]
Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil[00:01:51]
She sang of the greed we display before our altars[00:01:57]
The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide[00:02:03]
She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin[00:02:08]
Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line[00:02:14]
She had an everlasting notion[00:02:21]
The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream[00:02:26]
As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean[00:02:31]
Shine a light shine a light on me[00:02:38]
She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain[00:02:43]
The otter that swam through rivers and streams[00:02:49]
Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers[00:02:55]
And the rainbow that rose in the valley of tears[00:03:03]
