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 Gerrard McGeachy
