Song for ireland

"...I saw a land where no one had to fight..."

Just a few days back, a car bomb exploded in Newry, a town where I've spent good amounts of time. There have been deaths and attacks linked to politics rising up again along the border and through the counties in the north these last months.

Mary Black sang Song for Ireland at Stormont, during the peace negotiations there, some years back now. I've no idea which way the voting on devolution will go. Whatever happens, though, the words of the song ring true
