Subject: Lyr Req: Hearts on Fire - Welsh folk song From: GUEST,cujimmy Date: 20 Jun 07 - 04:24 PM Can someone give me the lyrics of a song I heard a few years ago - I think the chorus goes Hearts on fire, fond desire, hearts on fire, burning bright. Also one of the verses goes something like In the land of Davy Crocket, They've built themselves a rocket. Then later - While in Africa their crying, for the want of food their dying, For this the lord he gave his only son. thanks - regards - jimmy |
Subject: Lyr Add: HEARTS ON FIRE (F Hennessy, D Burns) From: Peace Date: 20 Jun 07 - 05:23 PM Hearts On Fire (Frank Hennessy) With hearts on fire, hearts on fire Hearts on fire burning bright All around the world our young men, having songs of freedom sung them And every dog of war will have his day And the pride of all the nations, standing at their stations Smiling as they wave their lives away In the land of Davy Crockett they built themselves a rocket That they say will bring a new way some day soon While in Africa they're crying, for the want of food they're dying While others walk around upon the moon In a blind deserted alley in the broken Rhondda Valley A man was sadly searching for his soul And his eyes are unforgiving, when they took away his living His pride was buried deep beneath the coal As the Belfast evening thunders the Lord looks down and wonders Will my children ever live as one From the church he hears them calling as his bitter tears are falling For this, he said, I gave my only son (as sung by Dave Burns) from www.mysongbook.de/msb/songs/h/heartson.html |
Subject: Lyr Add: HEARTS ON FIRE (Frank Hennessy) From: MARINER Date: 20 Jun 07 - 05:33 PM Yer 'tis. It's written All around the world are young men, Having songs of freedom sung them, And every dog of war will have his day. While the pride of all the nations Are standing at their stations. Smiling as they wave their lives away. CHORUS. With hearts on fire. Hearts on fire. Hearts on fire, Burning bright. In the land of Davy Crockett, They've built themselves a rocket, That they say will bring a brand new morning someday soon, While in Africa they're crying, For the want of food they're dying. As others walk around upon the moon. CHORUS. In a blind deserted alley In the broken Rhondda Valley, A man is sadly searching for his soul, But his eyes are unforgiving, When they took away his living His pride was buried deep beneath the coal, CHORUS. As the Belfast evening thunders, The Lord looks down and wonders, Will my children ever live as one? From the church he hears them calling, As his bitter tears are falling, For this, he said, I gave my only son. CHORUS TWICE. END. |
