[00:01.65]Wise & Holy Woman - Christy Moore
[00:20.76]I met a woman near the town where I was walkin'
[00:26.00]We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze
[00:32.59]She closed her eyes and started singing
[00:38.07]A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world
[00:44.07]She sang of the forests on the high high mountain
[00:50.37]The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe
[00:56.11]Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance
[01:02.33]And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed
[01:08.88]She had an everlasting notion
[01:13.89]The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream
[01:19.19]As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean
[01:26.18]Shine a light shine a light on me
[01:34.36]She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo
[01:39.75]For the homeless street children that never learned to smile
[01:45.63]She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez
[01:51.48]Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil
[01:57.16]She sang of the greed we display before our altars
[02:03.26]The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide
[02:08.76]She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin
[02:14.31]Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line
[02:21.57]She had an everlasting notion
[02:26.50]The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream
[02:31.74]As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean
[02:38.48]Shine a light shine a light on me
[02:43.41]She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain
[02:49.41]The otter that swam through rivers and streams
[02:55.27]Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers
[03:03.46]And the rainbow that rose in the valley of tears
