Saaxiib Qurux Badan

One look at love and you may see
It weaves a web over mystery
All raveled threads can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover’s heart
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart

Under the heavens, we journey far
On roads of life, we're the wanderers
So let love rise, so let love depart
Let hope have a place in the lover’s heart
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart

Look to love and you may dream
And if it should leave then give it wings
But if such a love is meant to be
Hope is home, and the heart is free

– From “Hope Has a Place”
by Roma Ryan, Eithne Ni Bhraonain & Nicky Ryan;
performed by Enya (from the 1995 album,
The Memory of Trees)
