Synonymous with Strength Lyrics by Stephen James Smith

0

Here in the North West
Warmth from the Gulf Stream can be felt
Rising up over Errigal from Mexico
Which merges into the North Atlantic Drift
As the ocean circulates over time
Meeting the Arctic's deep water freeze
We come to understand the impact of pressure
The ebb and flow leaves an impression
Over time these conditions grew oaks
Trees synonymous with strength
Whose roots held this place togethеr
Named this land Doire, meaning oak grovе
The landscape also grows:
Birch, holly, rowan and hazel
Which host mystics intent on reprisal
So there must be a hymn for an old oak wood
Where god fearing and godliness meet
We are busy adopting strays off the street
Where we take the rough with the smooth
But can be too tough or sing to sooth
With our daunting but undamaged spirit
We know some truths to be inaccurate
Even the fools here have an appetite
For coded language and find peace in an old adage
Friction means things will eventually be smoothed out
With a broken voice we sing, some hear it as a shout
In praise of
In memory of
Some say, a stitch in time saves nine
Here traditions stay in the bloodline...
Where faith healers walk among us
Rebel poets with a giant causes
Who sings of the terrorist, and of a peace keeping force?
Some will go to hell, while some look for remorse
Glaciers shaped this landscape
Where a man-made border is ignored by nature
There’s something about the historical friction
Which carved up this land, that might echo still in these valleys
Maybe that’s what the church dove Colmcille heard and tried to love
It’s said we’ve been troubled
Which is one way of putting it
What would you say?
What would you sing?
That there’s still time yet
To live without regret?
And I know people who could talk
For days about their love for you
But let us sing instead;
Of the Gulf Stream, the warmth we feel
And the almighty hope in remembering
An old oak tree can’t be felled easy
And it pleases me to know this
