Here is another song about the voyage of St Brendan:

Brendan's Song
(words by Jane Cassidy, tune by Shaun Davey (from 'the Brendan Voyage' an orchestral suite)

Now as darkness fills my sail
Waves of time roll evermore
Is there no star to guide to guide my wandering
No midnight sun to find the shore?

Now I will set sail
I will give and hazard all
For I know it's only by journeying
I can find a peace within

Sail the seven seas
Journey seven years
Suffer seven waves
Till you find the sea of whales
Become a paradise of birds
And in that arctic sun
Gaze beyond the horizon

In retracing his pattern there
We find a way through our despair
Brendan's truth remains eternally
Survives the storm of the centuries.
