Walking wounded children lined the roads about the town[00:00:34]
Aging little faces full of need[00:00:42]
Who never should have suffered from this hunger[00:00:49]
There's a better world to go to I believed[00:00:56]
Before our journey to Canada[00:01:05]
My love and I were married in the town[00:01:12]
One day of freedom from the anguish[00:01:20]
We sang and danced with friends from all around[00:01:28]
A stor mo chroi[00:01:37]
I'll always love you[00:01:44]
On an overcrowded ship we crossed the ocean[00:01:51]
Many found their graveyard in that sea[00:02:00]
Those who set their dreams on a life in Canada[00:02:07]
Surrendered to the fate that was to be[00:02:14]
Finally my true love's heart was broken[00:02:23]
In a fever shed in Canada she died[00:02:30]
Though I will assist my fellow countrymen[00:02:38]
There is nothing only emptiness inside[00:02:45]
A stor mo chroi[00:02:57]
I'll always love you[00:03:04]
All my fear of dying dissipated[00:03:11]
Now I'm simply waiting for the end[00:03:19]
Before I'm laid to rest in Canada[00:03:28]
I'll bring some comfort to my Irish friends[00:03:34]
Talk to them of better days behind us[00:03:43]
Before a brute for power put us down[00:03:50]
I'll sing until the reaper comes to take me[00:03:58]
To the love that lies waiting in the ground[00:04:05]
A stor mo chroi[00:04:15]
I'll always love you[00:04:23]
I open up my eyes[00:05:10]
To the sunlight shining new[00:05:51]
And in the dream that takes me back[00:05:56]
A single word rings through[00:06:00]
My memories awaken[00:06:04]
To the horrors come to pass[00:06:07]
One word in the morning light[00:06:12]
Brings freedom home at last[00:06:15]
Forgiveness[00:06:32]
For the ancient wounds still hurting[00:06:35]
For the wrongs I've never known[00:06:39]
For all the children left to die[00:06:43]
Near fields where corn was grown[00:06:47]
Like the ones who braved the ocean[00:06:51]
In the fever sheds to burn[00:06:55]
Let all the hatred leave these shores now[00:06:59]
Never to return[00:07:23]
Forgiveness[00:07:48]
