Story behind the song
i wrote this for the first druid assembly i attended several years ago.
Lyrics
in the forests of your cities with their trees of glass and mud and their beasts of roaring iron and raging steel i have been among the warriors whose money flows like blood and i know the searing pain of how it feels refrain: bhrighid, mo mhathair, ta me ag tiocht ar ais, bhrighid, mo mhathair, ta me ag tiocht abhaile arist. you have led me to the feet of my holy father tree he has held me in his heartwood all the year he has filled me with his dreams for a new and saner world without hatred, without hunger, without fear. refrain i have wandered through your fields by your rivers and your streams i have climbed your misty mountains, swathed in trees, in the magic of your deserts i have dreamed your ancient dreams i have heard the pleasant music of your seas. refrain i will never lose my way in this crazy world again i will be forever more within thy gaze i will clear the forest path to your simple homely hearth i will learn the peaceful magic of your ways. refrain the refrain is pronounced (vri-hid, mo wo'hor, tah meh'g tchocchht air esh vri-hid, mo wo'hor, tah meh'g tchocchht a-why-lya-reesht) (bridget, my mother, i am coming back, bridget, my mother, i am coming home again.)
