Turning Away Lyrics by Mary Black

Turning Away Lyrics

    Chorus

    In darkness we do what we can
    In daylight we're oblivion
    Our hearts so raw and clear
    Are turning away, turning away from here

    On water we have walked like the fearless child
    What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
    And in search for confirmation
    We have jumped into the fire
    And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire

    Chorus

    There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
    Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
    And there's those that try to tame it
    And the carve it into stone
    Ah but words cannot extinguish it
    However hard they're thrown

    Chorus

    On racherie they have worked with their island dreams
    By lough cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
    And in searching for acceptance
    They have given it away
    Only the children of our children
    Know the price they had to pay

    Chorus
