Paul Brady’s ‘The Island’

A favourite of Islomania's. Found this on YouTube

They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone..

See Paul Brady on YouTube:

The lyrics relate to the troubles in Northern Ireland and Lebanon. Another version by Dolores Keane is is also recommended.
