    Lyrics
    I met a wise and holy woman near the town where I was walkin'
    We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze
    She closed her eyes and started singing
    A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world
    She sang of the forests on the high high mountain
    The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe
    Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance
    And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed
    She had an everlasting notion
    The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream
    As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean
    Shine a light, shine a light on me
    She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo
    For the homeless street children who never learned to smile
    She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez
    Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil
    She sang of the greed we display before our altars
    The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide
    She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin
    Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line
    She had an everlasting notion
    The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream
    As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean
    Shine a light, shine a light on me
    She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain
    The otter that swam through rivers and streams
    Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers
    And the rainbow that rose in the valley of tears.

    Wow. Flying. Gazing out the window and flying, seeing the tale you weave. Transmogrifying, hypnotic Christy. The Celtic griot.

    I met a woman near the town where I was walkin’
    We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze
    She closed her eyes and started singing
    A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world
    She sang of the forests on the high high mountain
    The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe
    Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance
    And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed
    Chorus:
    She had an everlasting notion
    The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream
    As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean
    Shine a light , shine a light on me
    She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo
    For the homeless street children who never learned to smile
    She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez
    Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil
    She sang of the greed we display before our altars
    The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide
    She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin
    Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line
    Chorus
    (outro verse same shape and melody as chorus)
    She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain
    The otter that swam through rivers and streams
    Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers
    and the rainbow that rose in the valley of tears.
