Holy Ground - Luka Bloom

When the songs flow down like a river

And the words cut through

Dreams fly around me

I’m a happy man in the world

I love the sound of the bodhran

Kicking in behind me

It heats my blood

When the trumpet flies above me

I’m a happy man in the world

It’s the holy ground I’m looking for

I wake up every morning and ask for more

I’m a happy man in the world

Sometimes vultures hover

Over wounded angels lives

Black dog comes to see me

Darkness fills my world

So I close my eyes and listen

To a Jamaican freedom song

I move my body to the rhythm

I’m a happy man in the world

It’s the holy ground I’m looking for

I wake up every morning and ask for more

I’m a happy man in the world

Sometimes I fly with the white swan

To my Liffey home

There the river sings to me

I’m a happy man in the world
