There's a low rock wall    By the cliffs of Mohar    Runs from down on the ground    Right up through the sea air       As a child I would climb    To the top of those stairs    And wish on the fog    I was anywhere else       The farms and the valleys    Are ringed with the stones    Of the men who built walls    Sos to be more alone       All thats left of them now    Are their fears and their bones    But the rocks they put up    Were all I've ever known       The rock fought my spirit    The rock fed my anger    The rock broke my heart    Like the waves of the sea       I tried hard to fight    But it still grew inside me    This island my Ireland    The rock is in me       Hard was the ground    In which this child grew    Unforgiving and cold    Was the home that I knew       But knowing the soil    Not harboured for you    Makes pulling up roots    That much easier to do       Set sail    Young pilgrims       Set sail    To a new land       Set sail    Our future    Is out there to find       The rock fought my spirit    The rock fed my anger    The rock broke my heart    Like the waves of the sea    I tried hard to fight    But it still grew inside me    This island my Ireland    The rock is in me       I tried hard to fight    But it still grew inside me    This island my Ireland    The rock is in me       Now it's been years    Since I've been in that place    And the winds of my life    Have all weathered my face       But if only with distance    And the coming of grace    That I see in you beauty    I could never replace       The rock forged my spirit    The rock was my anchor    The rock held me fast    Through the storms of my youth       Now you'll never die    Cause you live on inside me    On Illinsha    Moharen fain
