lyrics

The time has come to call upon, the depths of history
And in the rock we fall upon, a sacred memory

Home, oh home, the deepest cry of all
Home, oh home, a place we all long for

In March, they traced the final steps of a saint made refugee
The Cuddy birds that sang their song, still sing their song to me

In April, swallows swirl the skies, their journeys now complete
And do we catch the birds that sing, that rest upon our feet?

Our time will come
When our song is sung
And the memories won’t haunt
Or keep you wake in the night

In May, there was a bird that came, to carry you safe from war
And in the stones, there cries a song
From all who’ve come before
