And this is why hate is unacceptable. Love is the only way.
This song describes the things that go on in Ireland/Northern Ireland between two sects of the same religion-Christianity.
And things like this did happen.
My song for you this evening
Is not to make you sad
Nor for adding to the sorrows
Of this troubled northern land
But lately I’ve been thinking
And it just wont leave my mind
I’ll tell you about two friends one time
Who were both good friends of mine
Love, my lagan Love, my lagan love
Where Lagan stream sing lullaby
There blows a lily fair.
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a lovesick lenanshee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life I owe, no libery
For love is lord of all
My Lagan Love
And sometimes when the beetle’s horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her sheiling low
And through the dooreen peep
There on the cricket’s singing stone
She stirs the bogwood fire
And hums in soft sweet undertones
The song of hearts desire
The song of hearts desire
