Ireland Is Calling
by Bernard Howe

There is something drawing me,
to a place I've never been.
A land that's a part of me,
and something from within.

It may be from another time,
when I was not around.
But it is drawing me,
in a way that's so profound.

To you it may be a mystery,
why this should be so strong.
But in my soul I know this,
it's where my heart belongs.

The legends and myths,
are always in my mind.
And there I need to go,
to see what I shall find.

If for no other reason,
than to see what's calling.
The time has come for me,
to stop all this stalling.

For Ireland is calling me,
to see its emerald shores.
For my ancestry is calling,
and sometimes it truly roars.

I guess its like a favored son,
that's drawn back to this land.
For this is not something,
that I can understand.

But it is truly out there,
and begging me to come.
It is the birth place,
of my dear and loving mum.
