Shining Stars
Shining Stars May 28, 2016
The stars shine down from up above
They shine for Ireland the people they love
Every star has a special place
For irish people and the Irish race
Every child that died in our country dear
A little star will shed a tear
Every martyr killed or forced to die
Other stars will also cry
The stars in the sky each one knows why
The irish nation, a mothers cry
Ten stars shone bright on a Belfast night
For the ten who died in the dark of night
Eight stars did shine God Bless loughall
The boys were taken, they answered the call
The starry plough shines in the sky
Connolly died, we still ask why
Thirty two stars shine for you and me
Many more will shine when Irelands free
The stars shine down from up above
they shine for Ireland and the people they love
