inis oirr oh inis oirr
I know the reason why I am here.
your double rainbow in the sky
makes my heart both laugh and cry
to feel your beauty, love, and depth
that lifts my heart when I'm bereft.
when man has touched my peace and calm
you sooth me with your healing balm
of crag and rock and goat and stone
I look around, I'm not alone.
these timeless rocks of grey and lime
bring comfort from another time,
when man was humble ,young and wise,
when life was raw, there were no lies.
