The Wolfe Tones
Child of Destiny
I dreamt last night of you, a child of destiny
But the song remained the same
And it sometimes made me cry
Oh, the words, oh the words are so sorrowful and sad

[Chorus]
As a tide of emotion takes me away
From the sea, to the shoreline
To the shoreline
To the shoreline

Is it there, is it there, is it there?
Open the wall of love
Is it there, is it there?
Pеace at the end of thе war —
Is it there, is it there?
Stars in the sky above
Is it there, is it there?
Oh yeah
Let me be, oh let me be your love
Lullaby

Trees bent in the night
As the stormy seas do blow
And daybreak lights the night
Round the isle of Innisfail
Let me drown in the sea, oh the sea of misery
[Chorus]
As the tide of emotion takes me away
From the sea to the shoreline
To the shoreline
To the shoreline

Is it there, is it there, is it there?
Open the wall of love
Is it there, is it there?
Peace at the end of the war —
Is it there, is it there?
Stars in the sky above
Is it there, is it there?
Oh yeah
Let me be, oh let me be your love
Lullaby

I see the harbour lights, there's an [?] in the night
Oh, take me from this dream
Be a heaven's guiding light
Take me from the stormy seas to a sea of harmony

[Chorus]
As the tide of emotion takes me away
From the sea to the shoreline
To the shoreline
To the shoreline
Is it there, is it there, is it there?
Open the wall of love
Is it there, is it there?
Peace at the end of the war —
Is it there, is it there?
Stars in the sky above
Is it there, is it there?
Oh yeah
Let me be, oh let me be your love
Lullaby
