I love you because you understand, dear Every single thing I try to do You’re always there to lend a helping hand, dear I love you most of all because you’re you
No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me through I love you for the way you never doubt me But most of all I love you ’cause you’re you
I love you because my heart is lighter Every time I’m walking by your side I love you because the future’s brighter The door to happiness, you open wide
No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me through I love you for a hundred thousand reasons But most of all I love you ’cause you’re you
He went to sea for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he’s asked what he’d done
In the past to someone
That he loves endlessly
Now she’s gone, so is he
I went to war every morning
I lost my way but now I’m following
What you said in my arms
What I read in the charms
That I love durably
Now it’s dead and gone and I am free
I went to sleep for the daytime
I shut my eyes to the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
That I loved arguably
All our labouring gone to seed
Went out to play for the evening
We wanted to hold onto the feeling
On the stretch in the sun
And our breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea

There’s a hero If you look inside your heart You don’t have to be afraid Of what you are There’s an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
It’s a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And that emptiness you felt Will disappear
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you, oh, oh
Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don’t let anyone Tear them away, hey yeah Hold on There will be tomorrow In time you’ll find the way
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you’ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you Mmm, that a hero lies in you
Walking all the day By all towers where falcons build their nests In silver wings they fly, For they know the call for freedom in their breasts, We saw Black Head against the sky With craggy rocks that run down to the sea When living on your western shore, Saw summer sun set, I asked for more, I stood by your Atlantic Sea, And sang a song for Ireland
Drinking all the day, In old pubs where fiddlers love to play, Saw one take the bow, To play a reel that was so grand and gay, I stood on Dingle beach and cast, In the wild foam for the Atlantic bass, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more, I stood by your Atlantic Sea, And sang a song for Ireland
Laughing all the day, With true friends who try to make you stay, Telling jokes and news, And singing songs to pass the night away, We watched the Galway salmon run, Like silver dancing, darting in the sun, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked form more, I stood by your Atlantic Sea, And sang a song for Ireland
Dreaming in the night, I saw a land where no-man had to fight, And waking in your dawn, I saw you crying in the morning light, When lying where the falcons fly, They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky, When living on your western shore, Saw the summer sunset, I asked no more, I stood by your Atlantic sea, And sang a song for Ireland
