Subject: Lyr Add: THE MUSIC OF HEALING (Tommy Sands)
Is it this one about the guns of thunder?
The Music of Healing (Written by Tommy Sands - A song of hope for Ireland, written for the Peace Accord in Ireland in 1998)
I don't beat the drums for they frighten the children Don't sing me songs about winning or losing Sit down beside me, our green fields are bleeding Sing me the music of healing Sing me a song about a lover returning The darker the night, the nearer the morning Sing me a song about a new day that's dawning Sing me the music of healing
Chorus: Ah ah the heart's a wonder Stronger than the guns of thunder Even when we're torn asunder Love will come again
Sometimes peace is like a hare in the cornfield You know that she's there but you can't put your arms round it All you can do, is follow the footprints Sing me the music of healing
I never knew I could be so contented To learn I was wrong after all of my roaming I've learned to be hard But I've learned how to tremble Sing me the music of healing
Somehow the cycle of vengeance keeps turning Till each other's sorrows and songs we start learning Peace is the prize for all who are daring Sing me the music of healing
If time is your friend For it cures all your sorrows But how can I wait for another tomorrow One step today and a thousand will follow Sing me the music of healing
