Paddy Goes To Holyhead Cornerstone Lyrics

The changing world was on it’s way
And now we know it’s gone today
Suddenly it’s thunder pure
Overriding our industrial allure
‘Cause the vision that we had is burning great holes in the sky
The angels came and shook their heads and cried
What have they done to paradise?

One world revolving ‘round the sun
One choice affecting everyone
One Word fashioned into stone
One Voice singing out alone
Be my harbour and my home
Be my strength my Cornerstone

I remember dreaming as a boy
Of living in the milk and honey land of joy The boy he soon became a man
The milk and honey dream became a no man’s land
And the vision that we had keeps burning great holes in the sky
The angels came and shook their heads and cried
What have they done to paradise?

One world revolving ‘round the sun
One choice affecting everyone
One Word fashioned into stone
One Voice singing out alone
Be my harbour and my home
Be my strength my Cornerstone
Please don’t leave me here alone
Don’t forsake me Cornerstone
