THIS IS TO MOTHER YOU

This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the 'wrong' things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

I AM ENOUGH FOR MYSELF

Oh the days are long
'Til the baby comes
God will take all fear
If you say this clear
I am enough for myself
I don't need anything else
I am enough for myself
I am in your heart
I only can have that part
I am in your dreams
I only can touch these things
I am who gives the breath
I am your nakedness
I am nothing at all
And I am singing your soul
I am that am I
I am that am I
I am that I am
I am enough for myself

PETIT POULET

Petit poulet
Tout c'est okay
Maintenant bebe tout c'est okay
The life you left behind won't find you
The love you kept inside will come
And even when your own heart blinds you
Nothing undoes the work you've done
The sun's still in the sky
The moon is there at night
The ground is still underfoot
And still holds you
Petit poulet
Tout c'est okay
Maintenant bebe
Tout c'est okay
There isn't any answer to the question
You only learn to live with it
There isn't any answer in religion
Don't believe one who says there is
But... The voices are heard
Off all who cry
I am around you as long in the night
Kissing your plight
Baby child
Kissing your plight
Kissing your plight
I am the sun up in the sky
I am the moon also at night
I am the ground under your foot
I am holding you
Petit poulet
Tout c'est okay
Maintenant bebe
Tout c'est okay

4 MY LOVE

4 my love this night I have
Your baby in my belly
All my life I'll love you for
The life you've given me
So love no longer be frightened
I will never leave you
Sleep safe in the night now love
Sad dreams never come true
You'll always find that one who loves you
You'll always find that one who loves you
Oh my love your love 4 Ireland
Will not be in vain
"4 whomsoever God place
No man can take away"
So love no longer be violent
God's children deserve to
sleep safe in the night now love
and have their dreams come true
Ah come back and find
That one who loves you
Ah climb back inside
The one who loves you
And feel what it's like
To love one who loves you
Ah come back and find that one

THIS IS A REBEL SONG

I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me - I'm your woman
And I desire you my hard englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don't be cold englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
Ah, please talk to me englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen - englishman
I've honoured you - hard englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful - englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
I do

HE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR

My own love said to me
"My mother won't mind.
And my daughters won't slight you
for your lack of kind".
He went away from me
and this he did say
"It will not be long, Love,
till our wedding day"
He went away from me
And he moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him
Move here and move there
He went his way homeward
with one star awake
As this swan in the evening
moves over the lake
I dreamed last night
that my own love came in
He came in so sweetly
his feet made no din
He came close beside me
And this he did say
"It will not be long Love
till our wedding day"
