about

Story of a man who was born dumb, and spent his entire life carving words of wisdom on tall cliffs of Ireland, for the blind, or more generally people who usually dont see with their heart.

lyrics

There once was a man
Who's born to spread
Tales of wisdom
In a ancient land
The story says
An Irish Kingdom

When I read the old fellow
Had always been dumb
I needed to know
'Bout the Legend

No one had ever heard
A single word
From his voice
Until he married his wife
All of a sudden
She changed his life

Ever ever since
That beautiful day
They had been carving in the stone
What the man wanted to say

-------------------------
CHORUS
They showed me memories of Mankind
Beautifully carved for ages
By hand
There was a few hundreds of pages
Written on the rock walls for the blind

And I heard singing
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
It ain't going
Anywhere
It'll stay forever"
-------------------------

I met the 2 of them
Down a tall cliff
So called "Sean Làmh"

In a very quiet
Secluded place
That only the breeze
And winds embrace

(Folk music)
...
There once was a man
...(music continues)
In a ancient land
...(music continues)

On his very own tapestry
He had been carving in the stone
What others couldn't see

-------------------------
FINAL CHORUS
He showed me Memories of mankind
Beautifully carved for ages
By hand
There was a few hundreds of pages
Written on the rock walls for the blind

And we were singing
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
It ain't go
Anywhere
It'll stay forever"
