That Place Far Away

[Verse] Candles glow so bright Warmth in soft twilight Voices lift in song We all sing along [Verse 2] Bread and wine we share Feel the love and care Family gathers close Hearts and spirits toast [Chorus] Light the night Hold it tight Blessings flow Hearts aglow [Verse 3] Ancient words we say Guide us on our way Traditions we keep true In everything we do [Bridge] Peace and joy arrive In every face alive Laugh and share a smile With each other for a while [Chorus] Light the night Hold it tight Blessings flow Hearts aglow

[Verse] 热天夜长黑 山上果儿挂 凌晨摘李去 汗水真是辣 [Verse 2] 夜风轻轻吹 眼皮重重合 辛苦换来甜 为了梦而活 [Chorus] 摘李子 摘李子 一天到晚不嫌累 摘李子 摘李子 满手的泥不后悔 [Bridge] 月光下的山间 脚步也彷徨 队友的笑声 让心更坚强 [Verse 3] 每一颗甜蜜 是辛苦的结晶 山顶的李子 笑得好温馨 [Chorus] 摘李子 摘李子 一天到晚不嫌累 摘李子 摘李子 满手的泥不后悔

[Verse] In the land of fast food and dreams, Where the golden arches gleam, Folks say there's freedom in the air, But it's a heavy load to bear. [Verse 2] Out in the heartland they say, Guns keep the wolves at bay, In every living room and truck, One for each of their good luck. [Chorus] Guns and obesity, that's our legacy, A land of the brave, and a land of the free, Where the flags fly high, and the waistlines grow, In the heart of America, where the contradictions show. [Verse 3] From the deserts to the city streets, Where old glory never skips a beat, At the drive-thrus and the ammunition stores, Life's a gamble behind closed doors. [Verse 4] Farm fields wide and highways long, Country stations playin' the same ol' song, Work hard, live strong, and yeah, we can eat, But our dreams, they got a little more sweet. [Chorus] Guns and obesity, that's our legacy, A land of the brave, and a land of the free, Where the flags fly high, and the waistlines grow, In the heart of America, where the contradictions show.

[Verse] There's a diner down a dusty road, Where the waffles stack high, and the sweet tea flows. Grandpa's sittin' with his old six-gun, Stories of the war and when he was young. [Verse 2] Out in the fields, where the corn grows tall, They say freedom's worth the price, come one, come all. Barbecue smoke risin’ to the sky, Mama's hushpuppies, you can’t pass by. [Chorus] Guns and obesity, echoes of our land, Land of liberty, in every grain of sand. With a side of apple pie, and a rifle by our side, We're living big and loud, in this country pride. [Verse 3] Pickups rollin' on endless highways, Radio singin' ‘bout them better days. Football games under Friday night lights, Cheering loud, hearts full of small-town might. [Verse 4] From the Golden Gate to Lady Liberty's flame, We all play a different part, in this American game. Iron BBQ pits and sweet corn on the cob, Living large in the land of the brave and the odd. [Chorus] Guns and obesity, echoes of our land, Land of liberty, in every grain of sand. With a side of apple pie, and a rifle by our side, We're living big and loud, in this country pride.

[Verse] Proclamation in the air Freedom fighters everywhere Irish hearts beating proud Rising up we're shouting loud [Verse 2] Easter rising spirits bold Michael Collins tales of old Culture rich and language pure Independence we endure [Chorus] Republic stands the fight is won From the ashes new day's sun With our voices we'll proclaim Ireland free we shout your name [Bridge] Tales of heroes fierce and true In the green fields skies of blue 1916 carved in stone Freedom's path we've made our own [Chorus] Republic stands the fight is won From the ashes new day's sun With our voices we'll proclaim Ireland free we shout your name [Verse 3] Independence rally's call Hearts of fire break the wall Songs of freedom in the night Irish soul will lead the fight

[Verse] In the green fields of Éire, where the shamrocks grow wild, We fought for our freedom, every woman, man, and child. From Dublin to Cork, in every heart and hand, We raised the flag of freedom, took a stand. [Verse 2] By the Liffey River, where Easter blooms in spring, We proclaimed our rights, let the bells of freedom ring. Through the streets of Dublin, with courage in our veins, Michael Collins led us, through the blood and the chains. [Chorus] Oh, Éire, we've risen, our voices loud and clear, In Gaelic and in English, we cast off the fear. For every freedom fighter, who stood so bold and true, The Republic of our fathers, we reclaimed anew. [Verse 3] In the shadows of Kilmainham, where heroes met their fate, We carved our own destiny, though the price was great. And in every pub and cottage, from Sligo to Kildare, The tales of liberation hung heavy in the air. [Verse 4] From the peaks of Connor Pass, to the wild Donegal shores, Our culture and our language, they could never ignore. For each word of Irish spoken, for each song sung with pride, We honored our forefathers, who for freedom died. [Chorus] Oh, Éire, we've risen, our voices loud and clear, In Gaelic and in English, we cast off the fear. For every freedom fighter, who stood so bold and true, The Republic of our fathers, we reclaimed anew.

[Verse] City lights fade away Through the silent night Dreams of a better day In the heart of the fight [Verse 2] Desert winds whisper here Stories of old We hold memories dear Priceless and bold [Chorus] Oh homeland calling loud Underneath the same sky Raise our voices proud For the hills we cry [Verse 3] Children laugh in the lane Hope in their eyes Though there's endless pain We will rise high [Verse 4] Olive trees stand so still Roots running deep We will climb every hill Promises to keep [Chorus] Oh homeland calling loud Underneath the same sky Raise our voices proud For the hills we cry

[Verse] The bonfire blazed high on the eve of the march, With flames lickin' the sky, and the moon as a watch, The flutes played their tune, a callin' the band, As the Ulster Orange men took their stand. [Verse 2] Murals painted tales on the walls of the street, Flags fluttered high, 'neath the drum’s steady beat, In their sashes so bright, they walked with pride, Through the heart of the town, they marched side by side. [Chorus] Oh, the Orange men, with their banners so bold, In the quiet of dawn, traditions unfold, With a song in their hearts, and a step so grand, They parade through the town, united they stand. [Verse 3] The streets they were lined, with folks lookin’ on, As the marchers kept time with an age-old song, Their footsteps a’echoed on the cobblestone gray, On this bright July morn, they came to display. [Verse 4] The bonfire’s embers still glowed in the night, As the bands played on, till the first rays of light, With their flutes and their drums, they heralded the day, Proclaiming their lore in their own special way. [Chorus] Oh, the Orange men, with their banners so bold, In the quiet of dawn, traditions unfold, With a song in their hearts, and a step so grand, They parade through the town, united they stand.

[Verse] In a small Ulster town with pride that's worn so bright, Folks gather 'round the night before, a bonfire in their sight, Flames dance up to the sky, painting murals on the wall, Flags waving high and mighty, in this annual call. [Verse 2] With the dawn comes the flutes, their melody so grand, The orange men in line, with their banners and their band, Streets filled with anticipation, under the Union Jack, Walking through the cobblestones, never looking back. [Chorus] In the heart of Ulster, tradition never fades, With the beat of the drum, and the parade always stays, Unity in steps, as they march through the glen, Holding on to legacy, the proud Orange men. [Bridge] Echoes of past footsteps, they resonate so clear, Through laughter and the memories, year after year, Community gathers tighter, in this honored parade, Every note from the flutes, every cheer that's made. [Verse 3] On the murals painted proudly, stories bold and true, The history of Ulster, in every stroke and hue, Flags flutter in the breeze, like tales in the wind, A day of celebration, where every heart grinned. [Chorus] In the heart of Ulster, tradition never fades, With the beat of the drum, and the parade always stays, Unity in steps, as they march through the glen, Holding on to legacy, the proud Orange men.

[Verse] Nights from nights into dreams Whisper quiet lullabies Calming every child's cries [Verse 2] Moon above watches close Stars in their cosmic dance Guardians of a strong heart [Chorus] Sweet dreams take you far Soft whispers protect Into the night we go [Verse 3] Harp strings pluck through the air Murmurs of tender love Lullabies from above [Bridge] Dreams flow like gentle streams Waves of peace in the night Safe 'neath the moon’s glow [Chorus] Sweet dreams take you far Soft whispers protect Into the night we go

In the quiet moments left unsaid, Where your silence wraps around my heart, I search for words in the threads, Of love that pulls us close, then parts. Each trigger casts a shadow long, A chasm where our voices fade, And I stand here, feeling wronged, By the silence in the space you've made. I know your storms are not by choice, And yet they leave me feeling small, Lost in the echo of your voice, A distant whisper, barely called. When the dates we planned fall away, I’m left with ghosts of where you’d be, A lonely night, a wistful day, In the places meant for you and me. Still, I hold on to the moments sweet, When laughter lines our fragile world, Dreams of when our souls would meet, Before the tempest was unfurled. I ache for your touch, your eyes, To find me in the darkened room, To bring back light to love’s disguise, And chase away this endless gloom. So, I wait with a heart that's true, Hoping for the calm after the storm, For the love that breaks through, To make us whole, to keep us warm.

[Verse] Down a dirt road off Route 9, Where the old oak trees still shine, There's a diner with a neon sign, And a heart that's always mine. [Verse 2] Jimmy's got a truck parked out back, Sippin' coffee from a borrowed flask. Life moves slow, and that's a fact, Underneath our small town mask. [Chorus] Oh, small town lights, they burn so bright, Guiding us through every night. We'll dance till dawn, hold on tight, In the glow of small town lights. [Verse 3] Miss Sally's baking pies again, Sweet apple, make you forget the rain. Stories shared around the windmill vane, In this place where love remains. [Verse 4] Fields of gold, open air, Hands held tight, no need to care. Whispers soft, promises fair, In the twilight's final glare. [Chorus] Oh, small town lights, they burn so bright, Guiding us through every night. We'll dance till dawn, hold on tight, In the glow of small town lights.
