Turning Away

In darkness we do what we can

In daylight we're oblivion

Our hearts so raw and clear

Are turning away, turning away from here

On water we have walked like the fearless child

What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild

And in search for confirmation

We have jumped into the fire

And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire

Chorus

There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past

Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast

And there's those that try to tame it

And the carve it into stone

Ah but words cannot extinguish it

However hard they're thrown

Chorus

On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams

By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams

And in searching for acceptance

They have given it away

Only the children of our children

Know the price they had to pay

Chorus
