about

Gael is a track from Shane's third album 'They Might See Dolphins'.

lyrics

Gael

Run Gaoidhael run
Run like your sons and
Daughters have done
Through your history

Thread your track
The long way back
Across oceans that crack
With your mystery

And tell me what you learned
From all the bridges that burned
That stand muted and mourned
In a melody

And we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth of this shit
Can you stand up and be counted
Can you stand up and be counted
Yes we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth of this shit
Can you stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted

Come Gael come
Break free and run
Bang the dust from the drum
And for liberty
Far from home
Alive and alone
You pressed flesh breast to bone
For credibility

And tell me were you turned
From all the things that you learned
Where you loved, lost, adorned
In your legacy

But we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth of this shit
Can you stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted
Yes we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth
Ban you stand up and be counted
Stand up and be counted

And run Gaoidheal Run
Just look what we've become
Now what's gone's, said, done

And we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth of this shit
Can you stand up and be counted
Can you stand up and be counted
Yes we're all so sick and tired of it
Sick to the back teeth
But can you stand up and be counted
Stand up

Where's your heart
Where's your soul
Where's the blood
That you hold
Where's the language
What's the deal
Where's the love
We had to steal
Steal

And we all wear the same colours
And we're ripped at the seems
I don't care for what they say
You look good to me
So let them let us go
Let love be your arrow
Let life light your way
Through streets broad and narrow

Stop looking at the past
This future's gonna last
Close your ears to what they tell you
And all the things they try to sell
No I’m not looking at the past
This future's gonna last
And no matter what they tell you to do
There's no idle gods left to pray to
