lyrics

You're a lea of greensward
A rock of moss
A weathered shipwreck
And a pilgrim's cross
Your nameless peaks look down the ridges
Your waters threaten the injured bridges

You are the ashes in your sands
You’re the bones in your ground
You, you are your mother's isle

Someday you’ll meet a far-off coast
And you'll set sails in its seas
Despite the constant rains
And to reach these elusive shores
You'd have to withstand the gales
That guide you astray

By many miles
Further from the friendly isles
You're just a worried mother's child

You, you are your mother's isle
