Stand By You
(Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven) Hands put your empty hands in mine, And scars show me all the scars you hide, And hey, if your wings are broken, Please take mine ’til yours can open too, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes, And hurt, I know you’re hurting but so am I, And love, if your wings are broken, Borrow mine so yours can open too. ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. Even if we’re breaking down, We can find a way to break through, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you. Love, you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you. Love, you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. Yeah, you’re all I never knew I needed, And the heart, sometimes it’s unclear why it’s beating, And love, if your wings are broken, We can brave through those emotions too, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. And oh, truth I guess truth is what you believe in, And faith, I think faith is having a reason, And I know, know love, if your wings are broken, Borrow mine so yours can open too, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. Even if we’re breaking down, We can find a way to break through, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you. Love, you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you, Love, you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. I’ll be your eyes ’til yours can shine, And I’ll be your arms, I’ll be your steady satellite, And when you can’t rise, Well, I’ll crawl with you on hands and knees ’cause I, I’m gonna stand by you. Even if we’re breaking down (Hey), We can find a way to break through (Come on), Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you, Love, you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you. Even if we can’t find heaven (Hey), I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you, Love you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you, Love you’re not alone. Oh, I’m gonna stand by you, Even if we can’t find heaven, (heaven, heaven, heaven), I’m gonna stand by you.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war. I dreamed I saw a mighty room, And the room was filled with men, And the paper they were signing said, They’d never fight again, And when the paper was all signed, And a million copies made, They all joined hands and bowed their heads, And grateful prayers were prayed, And the people in the streets below, Were dancing round and round, And guns and swords and uniforms, Were scattered on the ground.
(Sing it with me) Last night, I had the strangest dream, I’d never dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war.
(Sing it again) Last night I had the strangest dream, I’d ever dreamed before. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war. I dreamed the world had all agreed, To put an end to war.
There’s a light that burns within you, that illuminates your soul. They say its always been there, steady bright and in control. It’s the guiding spirit that drives you, as you live your life each day, Shining a light on the darkest paths, as you walk along the way. It’s the light outside the shadows, a lonely life can cast, But if you look to feel it, the darkness will not last. There’s a light of love within you, that illuminates your face, A gentle warmth that surrounds you, when your heart is in that place. The brightness of the spirit, and all the love you share, Embracing it with a passion, nurturing it with care. Within the light is life’s meaning, things close to the heart believed, A summation of your life time, and all things you perceived. Live the life within you, let the light shine through, Sharing it with others, embraced by love so true. The light that burns within you, the warmth of life’s desire, Let it shine on brightly, true keeper of the fire.

One More Day
Last night I had a crazy dream. A wish was granted just for me, It could be for anything, I didn’t ask for money, Or a mansion in Malibu, I simply wished for one more day with you. One more day, one more time, One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied, But then again, I know what it would do, Leave me wishing still for one more day with you. One more day First thing I’d do is pray for time to crawl. I’d unplug the telephone and keep the TV off. I’d hold you every second, Say a million I love you’s. That’s what I’d do with one more day with you. One more day, one more time, One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied, But then again, I know what it would do, Leave me wishing still for one more day with you. One more day, one more time, One more sunset maybe I’d be satisfied, But then again I know what it would do, Leave me wishing still for one more day, Leave me wishing still for one more day, Leave me wishing still for one more day with you. One more day (one more day).
Tipperary politicians, local councillors and self-declared community activists continued to “walk the fence” today, seeking; no demanding, extra community recognition funding for the North Tipperary area, in an effort to be seen, so as not to lose precious public and local votes. I refer of course to the proposed housing of International protection applicants here in Roscrea, North Co. Tipperary, which saw 300 people attending a demonstration this afternoon against the proposal which could see up to 160 people accommodated in 40 bedrooms at the Racket Hall, Hotel, Roscrea.
Lest Ireland Forgets.
It is estimated that some 6 million Irish people emigrated to the US since the year 1820. The peak of Irish emigration resulted from the Great Famine (1845-1852). At that time nearly two million people; about a quarter of the Irish population emigrated to the United States in just a 10 year period. In 1800 the population of Ireland was estimated at 4,500,000. By 1841 the same population had risen to some 8,200,000 soles. Mass evictions, the famines of 1861-1864 and 1879-82, and the hardships of subsistence farming, meant emigration to North America continued to be seen as an opportunity to support and improve life. Between the years 1848 and 1850 some 4,175 orphan girls were sent to Australia from Irish workhouses, of which some 477 girls were from Co. Tipperary. Two years later, in 1852, Nenagh Board of Guardians alone, emigrated 432 souls.

Coming to America
Far We’ve been travelling far, Without a home, But not without a star. Free, Only want to be free. We huddle close, Hang on to a dream, On the boats and on the planes, They’re coming to America, Never looking back again, They’re coming to America. Home, Don’t it seem so far away, Oh, we’re travelling light today, In the eye of the storm. In the eye of the storm. Home To a new and a shiny place, Make our bed and we’ll say our grace, Freedom’s light burning warm. Freedom’s light burning warm. Everywhere around the world, They’re coming to America, Every time that flag’s unfurled, They’re coming to America. Got a dream to take them there, They’re coming to America, Got a dream they’ve come to share, They’re coming to America, They’re coming to America, They’re coming to America, They’re coming to America, They’re coming to America, Today, today, Today, today, today, My country ’tis of thee (today), Sweet land of liberty (today), Of thee I sing (today), Of thee I sing, Today, today, today, Today, today, (today, today).
