Song for John

In every hallway, on every wall

It's John, Bobby and John the XXIII

It wasn't just a face in a plastic frame or the piercing eyes

and I hadn't even heard those moving words

It was Father Son and Holy Ghost

It's trembling Joy and Fearful Hope
It's the dream of a people returned
for John is coming home
John is coming home

Down every highway, in every town

on everyone's lips, just the sound of it

and every heart's beating and every band's playing
and every flag is waving proud

It was Father Son and Holy Ghost
It's trembling joy and fearful hope,
It's the dream of a people returned
for John is Coming home
John is Coming Home

Some memories lead you out to sea, to see

Some memories leave their mark, then lead you back to....

Father, Son and Holy Ghost
It's trembling Joy and fearful hope
It's the dream of a people returned
for John is Coming home
John is Coming Home......

.......We are the boys of Wexford
Who fought with heart and hand
To burst in twain the galling chain
And free our native land.
