I met a wise and holy woman near the town where I was walkin' We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze She closed her eyes and started singing A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world
She sang of the forests on the high high mountain The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed
She had an everlasting notion The wise and holy woman had a never ending dream As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean Shine a light, shine a light on me
She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo For the homeless street children who never learned to smile She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil
She sang of the greed we display before our altars The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line
She had an everlasting notion The wise and holy woman had a never ending dream As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean Shine a light, shine a light on me
She had an everlasting notion The wise and holy woman had a never ending dream As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean Shine a light, shine a light on me
She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain The otter that swam through rivers and streams Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers And the rainbow that rose in the valley of tearsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
