Brendan's Song (Jane Cassidy, tune by Shaun Davey) Now as darkness fills my sail Waves of time roll evermore Is there no star to guide to guide my wandering No midnight sun to find the shore? Now I will set sail I will give and hazard all For I know it's only by journeying I can find a peace within Sail the seven seas Journey seven years Suffer seven waves Till you find the sea of whales Become a paradise of birds And in that arctic sun Gaze beyond the horizon In retracing his pattern there We find a way through our despair Brendan's truth remains eternally Survives the storm of the centuries.
