From the recording I Was a Man
DEDICATED TO & INSPIRED BY Sinead O'Connor
Lyrics
BETTER FOR US ALL
Slower
Sweeter
Longer
Waves
That ripple to the sand
Watching
Peering
Sheepishly
Reaching for your hand
Reddest ruby blossoms
Their perfume fills the air
Through such pain
This beauty does not seem
Fair
Out of the mists you came
Gone far too soon
They pulled you back again
Every turn another fall
And still you made things
BETTER FOR US ALL
Raging
Gentle
Polarizing
Bringing truth to bear
Sacrificing
Willingly
Was how you chose to care
Rugged
Distant limestone
In hills of old Kildare
Winds of change
I pray they will take you there
Out of the mists you came
Gone far too soon
They pulled you back again
Every turn another fall
And still you made things
BETTER FOR US ALL
You made things
BETTER FOR US ALL
Out of the mists you came
Gone far too soon
They pulled you back again
Every turn another fall
And still you made things
BETTER FOR US ALL
