Jon Anderson - True Hands Of Fate lyrics

rate me

There'll be times in my day<br />

When I think of the past<br />

How we tend to survive all that comes<br />

How the maker repeats<br />

With the sun of each morn<br />

'n the moon 'n the stars at night<br />

Take a meadow of green<br />

'n the gold of the corn<br />

As the flowers decorate by each wall<br />

And the birds sing away as tho'<br />

Nothing will change<br />

Now that Eireland is Eireland once more<br />

I have travelled so far<br />

To the ends of the world<br />

I have yet to feel all I can feel<br />

Yet the maker redeems<br />

A whole country each morn<br />

Bringing light to the hearts of the dawn<br />

Shall we sing to the grandmothers,<br />

Fathers long gone<br />

Spread the wings of the<br />

Angels of faith<br />

There's a time to be born,<br />

'n to be born again<br />

Now that Eireland is Eireland once more<br />

Make the most of each hour,<br />

Make the most of each day<br />

We are blessed to begin a new time<br />

Make our forefathers glad<br />

All was not so in vain<br />

So replenish the land that was given<br />

To your friends both be kind,<br />

Yes be gentle as lambs<br />

And as clear as the stars, be as one<br />

So may all of your dreams<br />

Come to live in your heart<br />

And be seen as a sign of the times<br />

So be true hands of fate<br />

Let the children be free<br />

Let the spirit of goodness prevail<br />

We shall rise to the change<br />

As we rise up every day<br />

And survive all that comes our way
