Here you go:

Lift The Wings
Written and Composed by Bill Whelan
McGuiness/Whelan Music

How can the small flowers grow
If the wild winds blow
And the cold snow is all around

Where will the frail birds fly
If their homes on high
Have been torn down to the ground

Lift the Wings
That carry me away from here and
Fill the sail
That breaks the line to home
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
I'm beside you when I think of you – a Stóirin a Grá

How can a tree stand tall
If a rain won't fall
To wash its branches down

How can the heart survive
Can it stay alive
If its love's denied for long

Lift the Wings
That carry me away from here and
Fill the sail
That breaks the line to home
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
I'm beside you when I think of you – a Stóirin
And I'm with you when I dream of you – a Stóirin
And a song will bring you near to me – a Stóirin a Grá

Letty
