Mairéid Sullivan — For Love's Caress lyrics

Lyrics

I gave my heart, I gave my soul to the children
I drew all my love, drew all my time for the children
Still I can hear the yearning cries of all the children in this world
The world — feel it’s greatness
The weight of the past bears down on my thoughts
We are daughters of history — mothers of a new world that’s dawning
And this great old world can be made new in the name of love’s caress
Voices everywhere calling
The world — feel it’s greatness
The world — feel this endless vastness
Once-upon-a-time I thought that hindsight
Was all I had in this world
But we are willing slaves to only ourselves today
From seekers to finders our souls can tremble — for love’s caress
All of the angst we hear it’s just well disguised imperfection — sophistication
When we can feel it all
We can reach out for it all forever
Through our eyes, we can make souls tremble — for love’s caress
